Abstract

This paper deals with the history of the Prestes Column passage in the municipality of Piancó-PB. Inserted in the context of the First Republic of Brazil, the Column was a movement of the lieutenants who in March through Brazil were led by then lieutenant Luis Carlos Prestes, inciting unease and riots in the population and causing fear and instability in the authorities. Mapped in the interior of Paraíba, Piancó-PB was one of the interior cities tragically struck by the passage of the spine. Tragedy caused by a a number of factors, including the participation of Father Aristides Ferreira da Cruz as one of the main victims of the clash. So our objective was to study the history of the Prestes Column in Paraíba and specifically focus on this conflicting passage in the city of Piancó-PB. It is a bibliographical study and discussion in which we will seek to highlight the aspects that we consider important in the literature and point out relevance of other aspects of little prominence in historiography, but which in our view deserves a better presentation. To this end, some authors subsidized us, among which we cite: (CARONE, 1974), (FERREIRA, 1993), (LEOCADIA, 2007), (CAVALCANTE NETO, 2012) (OTAVIANO, 1979) and (PRESTES, 2007). Thus, we researched the interface between the history of Paraíba in the early years of the First Republic and the legacy of the facts that still mark the identity from Piancó-PB from this event. The interest in working this The theme was based on the need to have and encourage on studies related to Piancó's participation as a city State of Paraíba, in one of the largest conflicts in Old Republic - this conflict that gave mark and insight in the history of politics and of social movements in Brazil.
