	Post civil war reconstruction and confederate immigration to Brazil
		Formed in 1994 by descendents of the original immigrants wanting to retain ties to their heritage, "Os Confederados" hosts an annual party at the Campo Cemetery near Americana that would be the envy of any died-in-the-wool Southerner.
		Rebel flags are very much in evidence as well, but members of "Os Confederados" claim the connotation of racism isn't attached to that symbol in Brazil as it is in the States.
		Despite the entrenched traditions and homage paid to their heritage, many of the older confederados are worried that their heritage will be forgotten by the younger generations.

		The religion of the Confederados was also notable in that it was apparently more of a social tradition than a patriarchal faith.
		As our modern culture tends to purchase and consume artistic expressions rather than produce them, the religion of the Confederados was somewhat anemic because they had become dependant upon professional ministers (religious specialists) to provide their faith to them.
		Geographic proximity is needful for a vibrant community of faith, and the Confederados did not have the foresight to recognize this.

		This book derives from a conference about the Confederados and it occasionally suffers from the attempt to edit together a group of papers that frequently overlap.
		Especially interesting is the memoir of a Confederada, written late in her life, but rich in details about her childhood exodus from Alabama and the difficulties in getting to and starting a new life in Brazil.
		Also interesting is the study of the preservation of Southern dialect by the Confederados.

	Damn Interesting » The Confederados
		Second-generation Confederados began intermarrying and speaking Portuguese, and the land previously used to raise cotton was gradually switched to the native sugar cane.
		The reason why this is more economically profitable for the confederados is that, as it was said, they dont have to pay the upfront fee.
		I also think that the confederado's dropping slavery was a survival tactic… if the natives see you whipping slaves and treating them poorly, they will see you as the bad guy and do what they can to thin your numbers and free the slaves.

		Brazil, like the United States, is a land of immigrants, and the confederados joined a rush of 2.8 million Italians, Germans, Portuguese, Japanese and others who trekked here between the 1820s and the late 1920s.
		They came from Texas, and like many confederados, they drew comfort from the undulating landscape, the rich, red-clay earth and the balmy temperatures of their new nation.
		But today many young confederados do not speak English and are shaky on even basic questions, such as, "Who was Robert E. Lee?" Sometimes they even miss the party at the cemetery, known as the Festa Confederada.

		The Presbyterian church in the center of town is a legacy of the Confederados.
		But if Americans are sentimental about discovering long-lost kin, most Confederados approach their American connection with a more complex blend of memory and emotion—a mix that allows teenage descendants of Confederate migrants to dress up like their ancestors and still feel as comfortably Brazilian as the descendants of the first Portuguese settlers.

		They're among an estimated 1,000 Brazilians who call themselves Confederados and who can even name the Rebel soldiers from whom they are descended.
		At the festivals, women wear antebellum-style ball gowns, males don gray uniforms, and thousands come from around Brazil to watch bowing gentlemen and curtsying belles doing the Virginia reel in a cleared area in the middle of thousands of acres of sugar cane.
		In Brazil, long known for racial tolerance and intermarriage, everything is different, says Ricardo, who notes that within a couple of generations, Confederados were marrying whomever they fell in love with, including Indians, fls, Arabs, Italians and Germans.
