It must have been a great consolation to her defeated ancestors that in Brazil they were still able to enjoy the precious right to own other people for another 23 years - until the party was ruined once again.

You are so right. That is the only reason Southerner’s stood up to the US Gov’t in 1862. At least they got another 23 years.

Ah, but you forget . . . only the slavery that existed in the USA was actually bad. Everywhere else it was AOK!

Seriously, do you ever hear slavery condemned without it being American slavery? Do you think these other countries are still beating themselves up over it?

I think most of the Southerners who moved to Brazil were too poor when they got there to become slaveholders there. There was a TV program about these people some time ago that showed them keeping up antebellum dances and that sort of thing, but in most other respects they were thoroughly Brazilian, with many of them being of mixed racial ancestry. Ironic, nao?

Unlike in the United States, where slavery is a government monopoly.
