Points taken.
I was just curious if you knew WHAT the Brazilian Condederates specific policy was toward slaves while IN Brazil.Did they use any to build their colony?
I know this is research I should do but I’m swamped with other stuff right now.
Actually, most southerners who emigrated to Brazil came back within a year or two, so they didn’t have much chance to do anything one way or the other about slavery. And most of the emigres were too poor to afford to buy a slave.
They didn’t fit in with an alien culture, language, and alien (i.e., Catholic) religion. Americana was the one “colony” that survived past the first 20 years.
More southerners emigrated to Mexico, Honduras or Venezuela, none of which had slavery at that time, than came to Brazil.
