2. Minas Gerais "general mines"
A state in Brazil where Tiradentes was from. Minas Gerais means “general mines”, that means was for a long time, minas was very important for Brazil because they were mining place, so a lot of the gold that they used in Europe actually comes from Brazil. Also there’s one city where Tiradentes was from, and now it’s named “Tiradentes City”.

3. Inconfidência Mineira "Minas Gerais Conspiracy"
So this is called Inconfidência or “Conspiracy" because actually the revolution didn’t happened, because they killed everyone before anything happen. One person of the group actually told the policemen about their plan because he was owing a lot of money to the court. So that’s why it didn’t become a revolution, and only a conspiracy.
Tiradentes fez parte da Inconfidência Mineira. "Tiradentes was part of Minas Gerais Conspiracy."
