| Abstract | Manoel Beckman (1630-1685), also known as Bequimão, was a 17th-century trader, politician and farmer in São Luís, Maranhão in northeastern Brazil. He was son of a German father and a Portuguese mother (both purportedly of Jewish origin). In 1684, together with his brother Tomás and many affluential farmers, Beckmann started a rebellion against the local colonial authorities because of unfulfilled promises of shipments of African slaves and the abolition of native slavery. The insurrection was put down by Loyalist troops and Beckman was hanged on November 2, 1685. |
