Officers from the 28th Battalion of Caçadores (28th BC) of the Brazilian Army launched two tenentist revolts in Sergipe in 1924 and 1926. The first, inspired by the São Paulo Revolt of 1924, removed state governor Maurício Graccho Cardoso on 13 July and dominated the capital Aracaju until its defeat by loyalist troops on 3 August.^[1] The second, inspired by the passage of the Prestes Column through Piauí, was launched on 18 January 1926 and suppressed in four hours of combat.^[2] The uprisings marked a combative political spirit in the battalion,^[3] and one of its leaders, Augusto Maynard Gomes, was appointed governor of Sergipe after the Revolution of 1930.^[4]
