🔴 **Dixieland in Brazil: Confederate Descendants in the American Diaspora**
_”Instead of living in the American South during the era of Reconstruction from the years 1865 to 1877, many Confederates fled the United States in search of a country that upheld Old Southern values and practices, most notably slavery. Colonies in Mexico, Argentina, and even Egypt began as early as 1865, immediately following the war's end.3 The largest and
longest-standing colonies, however, emerged in Brazil.”_
