It is difficult to know precisely how many Confederates left the United States after the Civil War. There has been wild speculation about the actual number of southerners who left the United States to establish homes in Brazil. The most accurate count of Southern émigrés, who reached Brazil by 1872, is 4,000. These U.S. expatriates have left a small, yet colorful imprint on present-day Brazil. This web site is dedicated to their family stories. Anthony Spencer |
