http://schema.org/description

  • "The first book to focus upon the immigration of Southerners to Brazil after the Civil War. The author is the descendant of Confederates who took part in the great Confederate migration in the 1860s. About 20,000 Southerners immigrated to Brazil, encouraged by Emperor Don Pedro. There they founded a city called American & were called Os Confederados by the Brazilians. These Southerners, largely of Scotch-Irish heritage, felt that in Brazil they could survive with honor, far away from the Yankees who had defeated them & invaded their land. Their cultural province in Brazil still exists & their descendants still celebrate the 4th of July."
  • "The Lost Colony of the confedacy is the story of a grim, quixotic journey of twenty Thousand Confederates to Brazil at the end of the American Civil War."
