Joaquim Bonifácio do Amaral, Viscount of Indaiatuba (September 3, 1815 – November 6, 1884) was a Brazilian nobleman, landowner, and politician. A pioneering abolitionist, he is best known for having replaced slave labor on his farm with Italian and German workers, in an early experiment with a remunerated workforce on coffee plantations.[1]
A veteran who took part in the Battle of Venda Grande,[2] helping the Imperial forces defeat the insurgent liberals, he was one of the founders of the traditional Colégio Culto à Ciência and a knight of the Order of the Rose.[3]
