'''The Incident:''' Soon after capoeria was developed in the 1770s police records show that slaves practicing capoeira were arrested for disorderly conduct. When the Portuguese royal court moved to Brazil in 1808 the first commander of the royal gaurd, Nunes Vidigal, was skilled in capoeira. Because of the Portuguese fear of slave uprisings Vidigal and his successors spent most of their career trying to wipe out capoeira. In 1888 slavery was abolished but the ban on capoeria continued. In 1889 when the monarchy fell and Brazil was a new republic the president added ten articles to the national penal code specifically addressing crimes related to capoeira. Despite all this the practice got increasingly popular and academies began to operate. In 1937 President Getulio Vargas lifted the ban and recognized the new form of capoeira, which focused more on the dance elements, as a national folkloric art. <P> | '''The Incident:''' Soon after capoeria was developed in the 1770s police records show that slaves practicing capoeira were arrested for disorderly conduct.
