Adão planned a revolt in Serro, Minas Gerais, in 1864. It was scheduled to erupt during the festivities of the Holy Spirit and included enslaved people, quilombolas, freedmen, Africans and free Black people from rural and urban areas. Adão and other leaders were literate and coordinated the dissemination of information, including the exchange of notes, the reading of newspaper reports on the developments of the Civil War in the United States and debates on Brazilian imperial policy. The rebellion was suppressed. About 40 members ended up being arrested and indicted.
