After the resignation of the last Liberal Cabinet, Pedro II invited the rival Conservative Party to form a new cabinet.[27] With his party no longer in control, Paranhos lost much of his influence. The Liberal Party was not willing to accept its loss of power.[28][29] The most radical faction of the Liberals in the province of Pernambuco, known as the Partido da Praia ("Party of the Beach"), openly advocated a rebellion. Nominally Liberal, the praieiros were associated with the Courtier Faction.[30] The proposed rebellion would be an attempt of this branch of the Courtier Faction to regain control of the government.[28] The praieiros had little support, and public opinion was also against them.
