Americana is a Brazilian city in the state of São Paulo that was founded by a group of American Confederate families fleeing the Southern United States after the American Civil War. The Confederates hoped to continue their plantation-style of life within the tropics of Brazil, where slavery was legal until 1888. They became known as the "Confederados." In this episode, you'll learn about the development of the city, the integration of the Confederados into Brazilian society, and how their descendants celebrate the Confederacy.
