Manoel Beckman
Manoel Beckman, also known as Bequimão, was a 17th-century trader and farmer in São Luís, Maranhão in the North East of Brazil. He was son of a German father and a Portuguese mother, both of Jewish origin.[1] In 1684, together with his brother Thomas, he started a rebellion against the Portuguese colonial authorities because of unfulfilled promises of shipments of slaves and ships.[2] The rebellion was eventually put down by Portuguese troops and Beckman was executed in November 1686.
