[147]-152) and index.  aIn 1874 and 1875 peasants in the Northeastern region of Brazil rose up in rebellion, destroying the weights and measures of the new metric system implemented by the government. Authorities dubbed this the Quebra-Quilos or the "Break the scales" uprising. This analysis of the uprising explores its underlying causes: increased taxes, rising cost of food, the new metric system, the military draft and the imprisonment of two leading Brazilian bishops. The book covers the causes and results of an economy gone awry, governmental attempts at modernization, and nineteenth-century conflicts over church-state relations.0 aTipping the scales -- Economic collapse -- Role of religion -- Law of recruitment -- Modernization -- Repression.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aBrazilxHistoryyQuebra Quilos' Revolt, 1874. 0aBrazilxEconomic conditionsy19th century. 0aBrazilxSocial conditionsy19th century. 0aPeasant uprisingszBrazil, NortheastxHistoryy19th century. 0aSocial conflictzBrazil, NortheastxHistoryy19th century. 7aHISTORY / Latin America / South America2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aRichardson, Kim, Ph.D.tQuebra-Quilos and peasant resistance.dLanham : University Press Of America, c2011z0761853057w(OCoLC)660134393403EBSCOhostuhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=484724  aEBSCOhostbEBSCn484724  acpp1723AUTO  a02bN$T  c51642d51642
