The Independence of Brazil in Bahia, [1] Also called Bahia's Independence,[2][3][4][5] Was a movement which began on February 19 1822 and concluded on July 12 1823, motivated by a rise in Brazilian nationalism and Federalism and ended with Bahia becoming a province província na unidade nacional brasileira, consolidando a Independência do Brasil.[6][7]

Salvador joined the 1820 Liberal Revolution of Porto, and, with the convening of the The General and Extraordinary Cortes of the Portuguese Nation, in January of the following year, Salvador sent deputies such as Miguel Calmon du Pin e Almeida to defend local interests. The city found itself divided into several factions, the liberals uniting Portuguese and Brazilians, interested in maintaining the conditions achieved with the Transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil, and Portuguese people interested in returning to the kingdom's previous state.[8] With divided interests, tempers intensified: on one hand, Portuguese interested in keeping the province as a colony, and on the other, Brazilians, liberals, conservatives, monarchists and even republicans, finally unite in the common interest of a fight that has been going on for almost a year, and that can only be done unified with the Independence of Brazil itself from June 14 of 1822, when the proclamation was made in the Town Hall of Santo Amaro da Purificação that preached national unity, and recognized the authority of D. Pedro I.[9].[9]
