The Conservative Party of Brazil is a conservative political party in Brazil which was founded in 1836. It was the direct ideological successor of the Restorationist Party, bringing together large landowners, wealthy merchants, and senior government officials. Its political strength was concentrated in the northeastern provinces, while its rivals, the Liberal Party of Brazil, were concentrated in the south. In 1868, a faction of progressive Conservatives joined the Liberals and weakened their old party, and, in 1889, both the Liberal and Conservative Parties were disbanded when the Empire of Brazil was overthrown.
The Conservative Party was primarily supported by landowners, the military, and the clergy, who preferred a more centralized government and traditional values. Their base was stronger in rural areas, particularly in agricultural provinces such as Minas Gerais and Bahia. During the 1860s, the Conservative Party held more power in the Brazilian landscape, dominating the government under the leadership of prominent figures like Prime Minister Luis Alves de Lima e Silva. The Conservatives were able to implement policies that favored their interests, including maintaining the monarchy and supporting the slave economy, which was vital at the time.
