Initiated as a project for a new model society within the system by the creator Jean-Maurice Faivre (1795-1858), then a French doctor of the Imperial court who lived in Brazil. Tereza Cristina Colony provides several changes in the way of organizing life in society, especially not referring to the forms of work of the current time, which were based on slavery. Thus, around 1847, Faivre, with the help of his savings and the financing offered by Imperatriz Maria, wife of Dom Pedro II, to France and returns from there with 63 people, victims of the misery of western Brazil in search of building society. in a distant and distant place in the interior of the State. Only the small amount of money it received from the government, the workers who managed to gather, with experience in different areas of service, one that would be carried out for 11 years 58. The initial research hypothesis, in addition to those already postulated, was the that Faivre, due to his connection with the Masonic movement that even led to the independence of Brazil, as well as Brazilian independence, would be an adherent of the liberal ideals enshrined in the Enlightenment and the French. The research, based on documents and a bibliographic review of the period, has confirmed this hypothesis. Philosophically, they have societies that are even more consistent with the theory of Jean-Maurice Faivre, which is possible to say but is that the thought had nothing to do with radicals in the systems of change, but with alternatives that alleviated exploitation and brought social welfare to the population. In this, the social proposal of the research is in the contribution with a theory based on historiographical experience that the role and contributions of Tereza Cristina Colony in this process. From this, we will also understand that the perceptions of the time may or may not influence Faivre.
