The Brazilian Republic in Rio Grande do Sul: Politics, ethnicity and religion

Authors

  • René E. Gertz

Abstract

The proclamation of the Brazilian Republic in 1889 was perceived in different ways by the various ethnic and religious groups that formed the Nation at that time. Here we analyze the reactions of Catholics of German descent in Rio Grande do Sul, immediately after the institution of the new regime, through the establishment of the Party of the Center (“Partido do Centro”) or the Catholic Party (“Partido Católico”), as well as the efforts made mainly by Lutherans, who founded a Colonial Party (“Partido Colonial”).

Key words: Castilhism, Catholicism, German immigration.
