As the Confederate States of America was coming to an end, a group of between 8000-20,000 Confederates picked up, moved to Brazil, and continued to practice slaveholding for another few decades. They did so because slavery was legal in Brazil until 1888, and eventually the Confederates ended up mixing with the rest of the people there and stopped speaking English.

They lost the Civil War and fled to Brazil….
