    Didn’t a lot of people (confederate) move to South America, mostly Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina after the civil war?

      6000 to Brazil more especifically, somewhat insignificant number if you ask me considering the number of germans, italians, japanese and arabs that immigrated here.

          I know, 6000 people mostly concetrated in the town of Americana with roughly 250k citizens (not all American descendants obviously), so if there’s a place that might celebrate Thanksgiving in Brazil, it’s there.
