Courtesy of Richard Williams at the Dixiephile Old Virginia Blog, I present this rather flattering portrait of the well-known Confederado community in southern Brazil.
For those unfamiliar with the Confederados, the group consists of the descendants of some 10-20,000 white Confederates who emigrated to Brazil (many of them only temporarily) following the end of the American Civil War in 1865. There, many of them reestablished themselves as slaveholders. The institution would finally be abolished in Brazil in 1888.
