During the late 1860s Southerners dissatisfied with the outcome of the Civil War and fearful of the extent of Union reprisals migrated to Brazil to build a new life for themselves. The Confederados--the great majority from Alabama and Texas--began a century-long adventure to establish a new homeland and to preserve important elements of their Old South heritage.For more than a hundreAmerican Confederate voluntary exilesBrazilHistoryImmigrantsBrazilHistory19th centuryUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865RefugeesBrazilHistoryEmpire, 1822-1889Electronic books.American Confederate voluntary exilesHistory.ImmigrantsHistory981/.00413Dawsey Cyrus B(Cyrus Bassett),1945-Dawsey James M.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455023103321The confederados2492159UNINA
