I have actually been in that area.

We had a geologist from Americana with an English last name who claimed to be descended from Southerners from Georgia.

I also knew a Colombian family in Barranquilla who were proven direct descendents of one of Semmes's commanders who feld after Mobile Bay. They still had his uniform under glass and a letter from Lee telling him he should return home. He stayed and started a prosperous cargo line on the Magdalena River there.
