The Lost Colony of the Confederacy is the storyplot of the grim, quixotic voyage of 20,000 Confederates to Brazil at the end of the American Civil Warfare. Although it is as yet not known just how many Confederates migrated to SOUTH USA - estimates range from 8,000 to 40,000 - their departure was fueled by bitterness over a lost cause and a distaste for an oppressive victor. Motivated by Emperor Dom Pedro, most of these exiles settled in Brazil. Although during the Civil Warfare the exodus was widely known and reviewed as an indicator of the resentment against the Northern invaders and rigorous governmental options, The Lost Colony of the Confederacy is the first reserve to concentrate on this mass migration.
