Missing Information[edit]

The most glaring deficiency in this article is its coverage of the last several years of the war, with this period being described by the original author as entirely hopeless for the rebels and as one characterized by political maneuvers and negotiations. Did large-scale military conflict persist during this time, or did the so-called "war" now merely consist of sporadic skirmishes in the countryside? Moreover, the question of what prompted the Empire to be so magnanimous and willing to negotiate with rebel leaders should also be addressed; if the latter party's situation was so dire, why would their opponent decide it necessary to make peace and produce such generous concessions? Finally, who were the "Ragamuffins" for which the war was named? It is established in the existing article that they earned this nickname through their attire, but to which classes did they belong? I mainly ask this question due to the inequality of land ownership throughout most of Brazil during this period, and the resulting uncertainty I possess as to whether these aggrieved men were primarily landowners, farm laborers, ranchers, cowboys, mercenaries, or of some other profession.
