This is Maria Felipa de Oliveira, the Black Woman Who Helped Brazil Gain Independence. She was one of 3 women that participated in the struggle for Bahia's independence in Brazil 
in 1823.
Overall she led around 200 resistance fighters using guerrilla tactics (mostly Blacks and indigenous women). They continued to fight until the last Portuguese troops left the country on July 2nd, 1823.
Maria Felipa continued her life as a fisherwoman - She was admired by the people of her island and all over Brazil. She died on January 4, 1873.
If you go all over the world where Black people are, there are tons of stories where we fought. History won't say it, many of these stories are consciously eliminated from history.
There were 1000s of small revolts throughout the south. 100s of slave owners carefully poisoned over time by the women who knew root magic and herbs, both good and poisonous herbs. Same in the Caribbean. White owners who were cruel, pedophiles, rapists, whatever. Also, even in Africa there were people who fought. Tribes who were only defeated because they lacked modern weapons of the day but had more heart than the enemy and stronger in hand to hand combat.
