Siege of Caçapava
1837 battle of the Ragamuffin War
The Siege of Caçapava was a military victory by the rebel forces during the Ragamuffin War in April 1837. Upon Bento Manuel's defection from the Imperial side, he gave the rebels intelligence that made them march upon Caçapava do Sul, one of the loyalist strongholds in the region. They managed to secure the town's surrender after besieging it for a week, capturing all the garrison's infantry.
