"The Confederados (Portuguese pronunciation: [k\u00F5fede\u02C8\u027Eadus]) are descended from some 10,000 Confederates who immigrated to Brazil, chiefly to the area of the city of S\u00E3o Paulo, from the Southern United States after the American Civil War. Although many eventually returned to the United States, some remained and descendants of Confederados can be found in many cities throughout Brazil."@en .
