Abstract

This  article  aims  to  address  the  political  conflicts  that  occurred  in  Itapemirim, southern region of the Province of Espírito Santo, during the second half of the 19th century. Farmers from the region held political posts in the province and kept in touchwith important people in the Court. Thus, the local parties, Macucos and Arraias, aligned themselves with the Conservatives and Liberals in the second half of the nineteenth century, and their leaders were involved in denunciations of the slave trade in the Court. The conflicts between Colonel JoãoNepomuceno Gomes Bittencourt, leader of the Macucos / Conservadores party, and Joaquim Marcelino da Silva Lima, Barão de Itapemirim, leader of Arraias / Liberais, had repercussions even in the visit of the Emperor to the Province. They also used newspapers to discuss their ideas.
