“...The American civil war set the South on fire....”

And the north is still doing it.

>the only time in American history where people left the country in large numbers for another one

Lots of loyalists left US for Canada after Revolutionary War. I don't have the actual (or relative—population grew a lot over 4 score and 7+ years) numbers to compare the exodus to Canada with the one to Brazil. It's interesting to learn about the latter, but it wasn't the only such time in US history.

Excellent article, but holey moley it needs a good editor!

Between the repetitions, misspelled words and incorrect idioms (in mass Really?) the point was nearly lost.

In 1982 there were at least TWO widows of the Confederados still living. - Both were >100YO.
(One lady was a 2nd wife; the other was his 4th wife.)

Note: In May 1986 my adopted daughter & her GF, “Music”, were invited to have breakfast with the LAST living CSA widow, who was then 104YO. - The lady passed away peacefully in her sleep in 1990.

IF you would like a 1st person account of this historic event, get from ILL/read: A MISSION OF FOOLS BY ONE OF THE FOOLS.

That is a very confusingly written story with a lot of redundancy.

It’s unfortunate, because the subject matter is fascinating.

The subject matter is irrelevant when the prose is beaten and strangled in every sentence. Please don’t ever write anything ever again other than “I’m sorry”.

For those who may be interested simply in the history of the Confederados...

Mississippi:

“In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery— the greatest material interest of the world. “

Virginia:

“The people of Virginia, in their ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, adopted by them in Convention on the twenty-fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, having declared that the powers granted under the said Constitution were derived from the people of the United States, and might be resumed whensoever the same should be perverted to their injury and oppression; and the Federal Government, having perverted said powers, not only to the injury of the people of Virginia, but to the oppression of the Southern Slaveholding States.”

Georgia:

“The people of Georgia having dissolved their political connection with the Government of the United States of America, present to their confederates and the world the causes which have led to the separation. For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery. “

And so on.
