The Confederados: The Confederate Flag Flies in Brazil

After the U.S. Civil War, somewhere between 8,000-20,000 Confederates fled to Brazil where they established their own colony. Even today, you’ll see the Confederate Flag flying there as they celebrate the “Festa Confederada” every Spring. In this episode, we examine this strange immigration story and chat with Actress and Comedian Jackie Tohn.
