• The "Confederate" Brazilian Colony

  This theory holds that ex-Confederate settlers in Brazil were not simply expatriate agricultural colonists but the builders of a technologically advanced Amazonian base intended for a future reconquest of the United States. The claim builds on a real migration of former Confederates to Brazil after 1865, especially to communities in São Paulo, and on the long afterlife of Confederate memory abroad. What survives in the evidence is exile, farming, and memory culture; what does not is proof of a secret industrial city or a military plan to return north and conquer.
