australfoto > A bust of Tiradentes, in Tiradentes. Born in 1748 near present day Tiradentes, and executed April 21, 1792 in Rio de Janeiro, Joaquim JosŽ da Silva Xavier was a dentist among other things. Brazilian patriot and revolutionary, Tiradentes organized and led the first major outbreak against Portuguese rule in Brazil in 1789. Influenced by the American Revolution and the French Philosophes he organized the Inconfidencia Mineira in Minas Gerais advocating complete independence from Portugal. An attempt by Portuguese officials to collect back taxes touched off the call for the rebellion. Unsuccessful, he was tried and executed. To frighten the population into complete submission Portuguese authorities ordered his body to be cut into pieces and to be prominently displayed along posts in city boulevards. The nobleness of Silva Xavier's defense has made him a Brazilian national hero, and he is viewed as one of the precursors of independence in Latin America. (Australfoto/Douglas Engle)
