A quick and not very detailed doodle, I'm getting lazy.
The cangaçeiros were bands of outlaws operating in the northeast of Brazil. The historian Eric Hobsbawm who studied the phenomenon of banditry under the sociological political profile, coined the term Social Banditism, and recognized the common aspects in the various forms that the banditism took on several occasions in recent history, bringing together the Italian Brigands, Luddites and Cangaceiros . The presence of oppressive structures, the lack of justice and the unequal distribution of resources have led to forms of disorganized rebellion in which gangs of rebels, although not constituting a revolutionary vanguard, and acting only for personal enrichment purposes, have obtained the consensus of the population that saw in them a sort of avengers and levelers.
The bandits brought damned lives, they were devoted to death, they had to buy or impose silence
and cover with violence, they were condemned to get a lot of money to buy at high price what they needed to live.
They were subject to betrayal, and they were perpetually pursued by teams of policemen, soldiers and bounty killers.
They themselves lived violent lives, and carried out heinous crimes. The main bands of Cangaçeiros were
very active in Sertão Nordestino between 1920 and 1940, when the police finally managed to break down the main bands
