Abstract
This paper discusses the role of colonels from the inland cities of Bahia in the Revolution of 1930, from the Liberal Alliance campaign to the centralization of federal power in the state, ruled by Juraci Magalhães, in 1933. Based on the analysis of letters, telegrams, and newspapers of the time, it demonstrates how these men from the countryside went from using guns, in the First Republic, to ballot boxes after the success of the revolutionary movement of October 1930, showing the constant process of political accommodation that characterized the Vargas government in Bahia.
