The Ragamuffin War (Portuguese: "Guerra dos Farrapos" or, more commonly "Revolução Farroupilha") was a Republican uprising that began in southern Brazil, in the province (currently state) of Rio Grande do Sul in 1835. The rebels, led by generals Bento Gonçalves da Silva and Antônio de Sousa Neto with the support of the Italian fighter Giuseppe Garibaldi, surrendered to imperial forces in 1845.
