The last Remnants of the Confederacy in South America? (Confederados of Brazil)

After the American Civil War thousands of Americans loyal to the Confederate fled to parts of Latin America, including the small Confederate city of Americana in Brazil. Today we're going to be looking at some of the history behind the Civil War and the Confederacy, and how they attempted to conquer Latin America and set up colonies in Central and South America to expand the influence of the South.
Keep in mind, this video is not an argument on whether it is appropriate to fly a Confederate flag in the United States or not. This is only factual, publicly available information over events that occurred over a hundred years ago. I have no bias against or towards this topic.
Let me know your thoughts on the Confederacy's plans to conquer Latin America, and the town of Americana in Brazil. Thanks for watching!

[@metametodo]

Reggie Noble Nah, if you'd ask me the percentage of blame this immigration has for the level of our racism, I'd surely assume at max 0.001%. Seriously. I'm sure it's even way lower. We are racist for thousands of other reasons, especially our slavery past, the way the portuguese, our colonizers, ruled this land, and took riches from here. A thousand of confederates wouldn't have any significant influence, unless they had a important role in our government, but even so, one person alone doesn't make an entire nation racist, from nowhere.

[@Fat_Vegan]

Lívio Fragoso oh I know. I just made a statement but Brazil had a higher slave volume than North America so yes racism has existed way before the confederates ran from the states. The Spaniards and Portuguese are whites with darker features but still eurodemon.

Te emperor himself was openly against slavery and abolished it, but he wanted to industrialize and grow Brazil's economy prowess and, at that time, the confederates seemed like a good choice.

[@neogeo6268]

Glad you brought this unique topic! Having lived in Brazil for many years, I can add the following: 1- The regional "CAIPIRA" accent in São Paulo, Brazil, was heavily influenced by the "Americanas". Especially the way the "R" is pronounced, it's the same as the "R" in American English. 2- Many Brazilians adopted English last names as first names. Such as Edison, Edilson, Wilson, etc. Some soccer players have those names. 3- These Americanas were fully integrated into Brazilian society and today the heritage is lost. Even people living in the city of Americana have no idea about the past.

[@dorumagaxs]

I find it very hard to believe that so few migrants (less than 100 thousand in a population of millions by that time) would have so much influence over the local culture. 1- The "caipira" accent in São Paulo is probably due to influence of native americans that previously inhabited the region. In the early colonization of the São Paulo region portuguese settlers lived together with some allied natives. The settlers learnt the native language and used their knowledge to explore the inland. (we call these settlers as Bandeirantes, in portuguese). This interaction led to some absorption of the native culture, as sleeping in hammocks and some linguistical admixture. 2- A lot of brazilians do have english last names as first names. But is not such an old phenomenon, at least not as old as the confederate migration in XIX century. It is much more caused by american media heavily influencing brazilian culture since the late XX century.

[@pathfinder_strider]

I have a "Caipira" accent and my brain just blew up. That's probably not true, though.

[@FelipeCarreiro]

A pronúncia do "R caipira" não tem nada a ver com os americanos. Ela é muito mais antiga e é influenciada pelos indígenas.

[@Emersonunes]

@@djparaense deixei falar meu nome vou tacar um processo por direitos do meu nome kkk

[@guarini800]

The Caipira R does not come from the American accent. It comes from the guarani people who couldn't pronounce the R at the end of a syllable properly. That's also why you can hear this R in Paraguay too.

As a Americana citizen myself, I also want to add that it was at Villa Carioba, where the maire house, a working village and a dam, it's the location of the first asphalt pavement road in Brasil. I never understood the confederados, which btw are located at the "american cemetary" in another neighbour city called santa barbara d'oeste, and also never achieved none of the celebrations, but I know it's a vibe and really family friendly.

What a well done survey, with a very good setup, thanks for sharing! I faced decades of fun at school, when in newsrooms we had to address themes of "immigrants" and as I am, let's say, a "Confederate", I used to write about the immigration of South Americans but my teachers said that this never really existed and my apologies on my rude English here... Every foreign visitor I know or receive and eventually the conversations address the Brazilian formation, I always tell about the founding of the city of Santa Bárbara do Oeste and then the "Villa Americana" which was how the locals referred to the southern farmers who cultivated and they introduced new items in Brazil, such as the Spinning Wheel, the Cotton, the Watermelon, the Portable Oil Lamp and the Double Plows, which do not exist here or are too rudimentary. Not by chance, in a few decades, Americana would have one of the largest fabric manufacturing parks in an advanced pioneer industrial nucleus, thanks to the cotton culture and its processing, where the coat of arms clearly shows both a Spinning Wheel and... the Rebel Flag! From "A" to "Z", through the Ashees, Bucchanans, Carringtons, Demarets, Emmets, Fletchers, Gottschalks, Hawthornes, Issacs, Jones, Kennerlys, Lees, McIntyres, Norris, Owens, Platts, Quillens, Ransoms, Steagalls (I am one...), Townsends, Vaughns, Whitakers, and Yanceis in total emigrated from the CSAs exactly 327 families. They were dispersed in 6 initial colonizing nuclei, such as in SANTARÉM in the middle of the very very far Amazonian Jungle , RIO DOCE seashore in Espírito Santo state and the largest and richest Brazilian state, SÃO PAULO, concentrating farmers in the cities of JUQUIÁ, NOVA TEXAS, XURITICA which did not prosper due to the inhospitable climate and the well-known SANTA BÁRBARA and VILLA AMERICANA. One thing that the 390 Million US citizens NEED to incorporate as soon as possible is that Brazilians are mostly descended as national ethos is that we have nothing and some of the Spanish, adding to the unique fact that we are a 100% speaking continental country in Portuguese, that is, we come from a totally different people, the Portuguese. As for the "racial problem" in Brazilian realities, it is an essentially North American characteristic, in fact, natives here asked what was the "racial problem" that the newcomers talked about, including a Confederate´s' Daughter married a Brazilian black farmer and with the exception of the newcomers, nobody found anything or anything strange about this. Brazil is indeed the most perfect world integration between 7 or 8 different races and hosts the 3rd major japanese imigirants on the world and we have a gigantic Caucasian population, the kind of aspect that surprises foreigners even today, of course, because our sportsmen are mostly black and these images run around the world, giving a false impression sampling of reality. There are racists in Brazil but trust me, there are even black people who are racist with black people, I myself met social groups like that and if it were possible, going back to the theme of the title of this material, a specific research on the Brazilian Confederates would bring light and information to this aspect of the "Lost Colony of the Confederacy. Not at all "lost" because in reality, their success here was absolute, integrating themselves perfectly into the Brazilian society that welcomed them 100%, at all levels of knowledge, occupations, religions, works, marriages, children and diffuse prosperity . The 14th Confederate Star rises, is still shinning high and is Brazilian in everything. And for everyone.

[@robsoncosta7788]

Russell Solomon I am Brazilian and it is all true. During Brazilian Imperial period we received many imigrantes, including Confederates and other citizens of The United States came to here. Remember that in that period, slavery was allowed in Brazil until 1888 before the law called "Lei Áurea" created by princess Isabel. The imperior Dom Pedro II wanted since 1860's give freedom to slaves, and he did some laws like "Ventre Livre" (to babies of slaves will not be slave) and Sexagenarian (people that after 60 years old will be free), his family hadn't slaves, but in Brazil many other politicians and big farmers never allowed freedom to slaves and organized a coup d'etat in 1889 caused by some important people unsatisfied about freedom of slaves. Also Brazil took more black slaves than all other countries in American continent together. In imperial period Brazil was similar to the United States in structures, technology and socially, but after republican coup d'etat and consequently three dictatorships the country became in poverty. Favelas didn't exist in Brazil before republic and consequently Canudos war that killed 20,000 people and promised soldiers to receive houses didn't received it and blacks were extremely denied many rights like study, emploies, including it was prohibited blacks enter in some public buildings. (we had other wars and revolts like Cabanada, "Farroupilha", Paulista war, "Revolta das Chibatas" and etc.)

[@Evilgood1]

legofreak446 that is itself interesting. Here in Kentucky, we aren't so far removed from the Civil War. Whenever the topic comes up, tempers flare. It's actually true that most people here don't see the flag as a racist symbol. If I had to guess, it'd likely be a lack of anyone in the area to be racist against. I personally didn't support keeping the flag, but political correctness actually has nothing to do with my reasoning.

Interesting video! I had no idea that Confederates had fled to Brazil after the Civil War. (It makes sense considering the fact that Brazil was the last country in the Americas to abolish slavery.) I actually learned something I hadn't heard about. I love your channel! All your videos are fascinating and informative.

[@Vlad-bi1ss]

Actually it happened because Dom Pedro wanted to develop Brazil's cotton production

[@rebelsoul5980]

Had nothing to do with slavery, my God the American educational industrial complex does a number on our people! In fact the civil war was not fought over slavery. Ideologically the Confederacy seceded to preserve the constitutional Republic that the United States was established as in 1776. Lincoln and the north illegally and treasonously implemented a Federal Nationalized Democracy which is what we slave under to this day and have since 1865. The USA 🇺🇸 was never supposed to be anything close to a Democracy, in fact the founding fathers warned of the dangers of a Democracy. It is disgusting every time I hear a politician use the "spread Democracy" line to gain support to invade other innocent nation's! Geographically the civil war was fought over Western Expansion. The Union conquered not only sovereign Confederate territories but also sovereign Native American territories. The last Confederate General to surrender was a Cherokee Native American named Stand Waite. In fact all the Natives who fought in the war fought with the Confederacy. There is a reason our Federal government hates Native American symbols, Natives understand the dangers of the 🇺🇸 Federal government. If you are truly interested in civil war history let me know in the comments and I can send you great lectures to enlighten you. God bless

[@pikachuchujelly7628]

So, please explain how the US was not a democracy (republics in which the people vote for their representatives are called an indirect democracy, but still a democracy nonetheless) before Lincoln. What exactly did Lincoln do that was federal overreach? I'm also curious why you believe that slavery wasn't the main cause of the war, given that it was such a huge part of the south's economy. Both sides, including southerners like Lee, largely supported expanding into new territories. The issue wasn't whether to add new states, but whether slavery would be allowed in these new states.

[@alekzandah360]

I'm sorry to correct you but the way you phrased your description of Dom Pedro sounded like he was a slaver. And I'm sure you know that the only reason Brazil still had slavery into the 19th century was the republican oligarchs. As a matter of fact the Imperial family had since the very estabilishment of a Brazilian nation the will to free slaves. Remniscents of that can be read in the Constitution of 1824 which effectively banned any kind of physical violence towards slaves. That, for the time, was impressive.

[@ghostofthelostcause2744]

With one difference, the Ragtags offer freedom to those slaves that fight againt the Empire, for the Republic, after 10 year of war, a treaty was made and the south come back to Brazil.

Instead of destroying Confederate statues we should give them to these people. It doesn't have the same bad connotation to them and the people who lost their lives in the Civil War deserve remembrance. Those men were peoples sons and fathers, brothers and uncles, friends and neighbors.

Some Confederate defenders still say slavery was only a minor part for secession or for Civil War but what is their defense for parts of the South wanting to expand slavery to other countries?

[@edwardgillelad]

Slavery was not abolished until 1888 in Brasil.

[@RedCloudBeechWaveAhh]

The Civil War was about Slavery. It is disgusting and shameful. Nothing about imprisoning, buying and selling, separating children from their parents, raping beating and forced labor of fellow human beings is minor. It is an atrocity, and America is still quietly and not-so-quietly struggling with this guilt, largely unacknowledged. This legacy, haunts us today. We are sick with it. It may take hundreds of years to clear this sickness away. The USA is a great country yet a very sick society; one of the greatest dynamics is the largely unacknowledged depravity of slavery and racism. The education and healing have to happen for the whites as well as African-ancestered. We haven't yet "gotten" it. We pretend it's over, it's better-enough. The pain persists. I didn't personally cause it, but I bear responsibility for its aftermath, and I must search for a way to reconcile my values with this reality.
