I lived in that town for a few months. What happened was that the confederates actually took their slaves with them. These might have been some soldiers but mostly they were the slave owners and not soldiers. To this day some families speak English in their homes with a southern accent and the way they say their R’s in Portuguese in that region of Brazil sound very rural southern American and you can only hear people speak like that in that part of Brazil. They had a hard time burying their dead because the Catholic Church would not allow them to be buried in the cemeteries. There is an American immigrant history museum in the town of Americana that I have been to. The history of this all is quite interesting but also very sad.

It was by the hand of the slaves owner that felt cheated because the Royalty didn't promises them any compensation for freeing the slaves. So they sided with the unpopular Republican party and the army to stage a Coup to overthrow the Monarchy. Which ruined Brazil from then on. Worst they even bother didn't to ask the population because the population majority was on the of Pedro II and the monarchy. Also included the Navy as well.

Brazil in specific received I believe ten times more slaves than the United States? Might be getting the exact number wrong, but it was along those lines, way more. This is because the slaves kept dying (plantations in Brazil were way more deadly than the United States, because of the climate and dangerous working conditions), so the plantation owners had to keep buying more slaves to replace the ones that didn't make it.
