Awesome. We should call it White History Month.

They're the descendants of southern aristocrats that left the US after the Civil War. They have a festival every year to celebrate their heritage.

You must be mad that you were born a "honky".

The Confederados, actually most returned to the States once they found out you could not grow cotton there.

Throw in a burning cross and some solo cups and you've got an Ole Miss tailgate at the grove.

Baloney- have you seen Brazilian cotton? Some of the biggest cotton farms in the world- fields go on for miles in Bahia state.

Not to mention slavery was still legal there. I'm not expert on Brazilian history but I think it ended shortly after, but it was the last countries to hold on to slavery.

I think it was French Guyana.

Damn.
I was already in love with the big Brazilian booties there but this?
I'm looking into shipping rates and immigration now in another tab.

Many families from the " black belt" of Alabama, a fertile cotton growing region in the central part of the state, made this move right before the end of the war. A few returned an settled in Texas and La. Many stayed in Brazil. Smart move since most of the plantation aristocracy lost everything around here.
