I "love" how every one complains about a symbol that they believe to be morally wrong, with little to no knowledge or willingness to honor our history. For instance, the Georgia state flag was changed just as this was. It previously displayed portions of the confederate battle flag. The current state flag just replaced the confederate battle flag with the actual Confederate States of America flag. Everyone quite complaining.
Yeah the people who complain about the confederate flag tend to be the least educated group about American history in general and don’t really understand any of the symbolism behind anything in this country. They just see something, believe a random idea of its meaning they were told and that’s it.
Well, instead of complaining, I'd like to take this chance to make it a learning moment.
We can see, that if the south was uninterrupted, it's still only about as productive as an agrarian society. Don't see any slaves, though he said some were originally brought over, where are they? Looks like the south just went further south, to just die some more. Not very impressive. Looks like your typical southern town, abandoned.
The fastest growing states in the USA are the south, people are fleeing New York, California and several other northern states to go to places like Florida, Texas, Tennessee, the Carolina’s. Black Americans are moving in massive numbers to the Atlanta metro. Your point about southern towns being abandoned is pretty hilarious. You are here to make irrelevant points and that’s fine feel free. Honoring peoples history is not an endorsement of their beliefs. If I visit Roman monuments that does not mean I support gladiatorial combat and by leaving up the coliseum and being against ripping it down also does not mean I endorse it.
@@JustLifeTravelswhere do you live ?
@@TonyStark-xr2omwhy do these red third world states in the us, take money from us hard-working Democrats in the blue States?
My great grandfather was a lieutenant colonel in the confederate army. He's buried in Texas with a headstone paid for by the US government, inscription reads "Respected foe, gentle soul, a gentleman always. With respect, US Calvary". He died in 1892, and was given a military funeral with honors due to his protecting Union prisoners from abuse.
That’s a great story and for sure someone to be proud to be related to. A man of honor.
And slavery. Don’t forget they went there because slavery was still legal
Yeah, their reasoning was nowhere near noble but it’s the reality of the history of the families that founded the place.
No. They left the Imperial federal government of Lincoln to escape the Zimbabwe level kleptocracies of the Reconstruction era military dictatorships, rampant crime and complete looting of private property by the "víctors" of a completely unnecessary war.
Stop lying.
@@JustLifeTravelsdude u a whole goofy sad mfs aint never even played a sport
I doubt that
You do realize that the war wasn’t about slaves lmao and regular guys didn’t have slaves only very rich did. Very rich don’t fight wars.
Cool; Pres. Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn visited Americana ;
That’s cool, makes sense with him being southern himself. I’m also from the south so for me it was cool to see a piece of a specific American culture in such a foreign place.
When?
@@alexkx8599 1972
I love quirky bits of history like this, always fascinating
Yeah really cool seeing such a seemingly random piece of America in Brazil.
@@JustLifeTravels yeah mate, totally. I'm Australian and these little 'weird" parts of human history will never get boring.
Hi fellows! Here is Arthur Steagall Condé from Sao Paulo. My great great grandfather was Henry Farrar Steagall, 2nd Liutennant who fought many battles under Stonewall Jackson's command
That’s great! I wish we had found a person like you to interview while we were there. Great to see people are still connected to their heritage.
Should not change history or flags anywhere. I'm a lifetime member of the scv.
Fully agree
Hardly anyone knows about this chapter in America,, it is history, I'm glad the guys recognized the "battle flag of northern Virginia", it was barely flown in the civil war,, Hollywood made the flag popular and was in every civil war movie and the Dukes of Hazzard adapted the paint scheme of the gen Lee was in fact Dodge put out in 1969 not the t.v. show. Great video, I really enjoyed it!!👍👍
Glad you enjoyed, we both enjoy history a lot and love getting to learn it where it actually happened.
Thats just amazing. Im definitely attending their festival. Just googled it and it seems to be very beautiful. History should never be censored.
Yea we want to go to the festival very much also I hope you enjoy it when you go. Thank you for enjoying the video.
This video is sensational what a wonder never knew there was this place in são paulo
Very glad to here that you enjoyed it. Brazil is definitely full of surprises. Many more videos coming so hopefully you enjoy.
the Arizona Territory was part of the Confederacy
Yeah there was a lot of support and a couple battles out there.
Fly your confederate flags proudly so you can be seen.
I truly hope that I misread the signals and that you guys are fair minded and good guys. You’re so young and you have presents and can make a difference. I’m rooting for you.
Appreciate the rooting for us
This is mind blowing. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed, it is crazy that confederates ended up down there for sure.
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed!
That beautiful church is the Church of St Anthony built by Italian immigrants in 1886. It is beautiful!
Appreciate the info! It was certainly grand.
Nice video! Tks for sharing. I'm Brazilian, and we had little idea of the civil war in America. There was a tv series here in the 80's, called "Os gatões", or "The Dukes of Hazard", that showed a wonderful 1969 Dodge charger, but, it had that flag, that is now forbidden. I read a lot about the matter and now it is more clear to me. There is another city in the state of SP called Santa Barbara d'Oeste that also received iimmigrants from this war.
That’s cool I didn’t know there were other communities of confederates that came too but it makes sense. Glad you enjoyed!
That church is beautiful.
Fully agree!
Preserving history and worshipping it are two different things we should definitely be educated on what happened in the past good and bad but there are those that want the “good ol days” to come back and those days unfortunately weren’t so good for all races and backgrounds
Cultural festivals like they hold here are common around the world, also most people living in the area are in some part black or have immigrated from Italy since the end of slavery so in Brazil i think that doesn’t exist at all.
America was not established as a multicultural experiment. The Naturalization Act of 1790 address these revisionist arguments.
Hey this tripped me out!! I wonder if any Poinsett’s were down there?
Not sure, but it was cool to get to see it in person and learn a bit reading about it.
Yes. People should preserve history no matter how horrible certain points of history were.
Also, I don’t think that confederate flag should’ve been taken down. It’s a part of history and the origin of that place.
I definitely agree, hope you enjoyed the video!
Losers 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Confederacy fought for limited goverment (states rights) and limited taxation. Yankees fought for Rail road robber Barrons and tax rebellion.
Yankees need to apologize to Dixieland.
Nothing wrong with the confederates ! The north was the one in the wrong
Look now all the zoo beasts are let loose ?? A real circus American has become
I would have never thought a place like this would exist in Brazil, very interesting. Also, the church was very beautiful😄
Yes I was surprised when I first heard about it also. Glad you enjoyed the video!
'That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia...'😂 love Reba
Vicki Lawrence from the Carol Burnett did that song first and better
Great song!
I didn’t know it wasn’t an original I’ll have to look up that version.
We just visited
Great hope you guys enjoyed your time over there
Waaay down south of Dixie
Very far south of Dixie
Very, very, very interesting! I knew about the migration of Confederates to Brazil, but I knew no details about it - AT ALL! Brazil is a true "metling pot" where past identities have been replaced by national identity. The U.S. has done just the reverse with nationalistic and racial identity becoming the dominate identifier. We are a nation of "tribes" today more than ever before and will be even more so in the future. I subscribed.
Welcome! I hope you will find future videos as interesting!
That church should be restored. Beautiful building
Agreed, hopefully the Brazilian government gives it some funding for repairs as it is a historic and cultural landmark.
So are there Baptist church,Presbyterian,other anglo church in amercana Brazil.
Evangelical Protestantism is actually on the rise all across Brazil and is getting many converts so, even if there wasn’t before there certainly is now. But that is a very interesting question to know how much it spread from the original group of Americans who moved down.
Great video very interesting. I believe that All History should be left as it is. If they come for one History. Next time they come for Your History! Remember China they Destroyed so much beautiful history that were good bad it did not matter. They destroyed as much as they could. They can Never get alot of it back! Thank you fellows Now Following you.
God Bless.
Totally agree, it’s important to understand the mindsets of people historically and if your area ever valued a certain aspect of itself or person enough to memorialize them it’s good to preserve that and learn why.
@@JustLifeTravels Well said:)
God Bless you fellows:)
Are rhere any General Lee replicas there? That would be cool.
Didn’t see any but wouldn’t be surprised if during the festival they have them for sale
Very cool
Yeah it was certainly a passion project, and a great day out.
Great video guys🤙
Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed, we had a blast getting to visit and it was certainly one of the high points of the trip
Will you be near Washington DC during september? We can set a meeting!
Unfortunately not.
It’s cool to see confederates investing into black businesses. Nice Jordan’s fam
Thanks, got a few of em grew up in an almost all black neighborhood so been supporting black business my whole life.
Who is Peter?
He’s an irish friend of ours. He is in all the Ireland videos and many others
Usually i would preserve dark history like the concentration camps in germany, but when you have festivals about the past, thats a different story. When i saw that these people were celebrating confederants where slavery was a good thing, everyman is not created equal, white supremacy, and no civil rights, i was at awe. Damn Brazilian Emperor Dom Pedro II. I hope one day they will shut that that dark history down for good and make it illegal to replicate anything from the confederants for these racist in the past.
Well interestingly enough Brazil had far far far more slaves than the entire USA did, your argument could just as easily be applied to all of Brazilian history prior to 1888 which is a full 23 years after the USA ended it. The festival is to honor the people who established that community. We have videos in Nigeria you are free to go and watch and they have statues built for the famous slave catchers from their communities who made their cities wealthy by capturing fellow black Africans to sell into slavery to whoever would pay the highest amount.
@JustLifeTravels My question was why are you CELEBRATING dark history where confederates thought slavery was a good thing, everyman not created equal, white supremacy, and no civil rights? You just made your argument weak trying to justify the celebration, saying brazil have a long history of slavery, confederates are honored, and some black people from Nigeria sold their own people. The confederates literally came to Brazil because slavery was not abolished so they can beat, "ape", and force people to do their bidding. It's like saying German nazis should celebrate their heritage like it's 1939-1944 before 1945, even though these people killed over 6 million jews during that time. Your the reason what's wrong with the world today with this backwords' evil thinking. I never said don't erase (cut statues down, forget about history, don't learn about civil rights and confederacy), but one thing I will not tolerate and most people would agree is the celebration of over 500 years of slavery.

Also, i would never say get rid of history ( break the statue, tear the clothes, don't let it in the museum, dont teach it in history, etc), but the difference is your celebrating over 500 years of slavery like its some sort of festival in honor for the confederates which makes you a supporter of them.
@@gmilkboy504he said it’s celebrating the people who founded the place/community. It’s you who are putting your own connotation behind it, Which is fine. He answered your question, you just don’t like that he didn’t walk into your framed argument that you so nicely tried to set up for him.
@@Maynard-il1yj Iam not tricking anybody..... It's just why would you celebrate a tradition where its main reason of creation is to continue enslaving people which they have been for over 500 years, treat people less than ants, use people as clothing products, and try to make a race extinct. I just don't get it smh. You must believe in their philosophy trying to justify this monstrosity. You need to pray and have jesus in your life.
They didn't find a single native confederado to interview???
We were looking for them, they are few and far between now a days it seems. The majority of people there are just regular Brazilians, who might be related by blood to the confederados but don’t know or care anymore. I think the best time to actually meet them would certainly be during the festival.
@@JustLifeTravels Sounds great, thanks for responding 👍
No problem. Have a good one!
Always difficult dealing with race but i can appreciate the delivery
Thanks a lot, hope you got to learn something or we sparked an interest in researching the place more.
If the confederate flag doesn’t have the same meaning over in Brazil, let them be.
I agree, the people there are mixed race and still see it as their heritage. Trying to impose American values on the idea is crazy
Correction to what u said... the statues are not idols...they are representations (and reminders of the religious/historical person depicted) but RC are not praying to the actual statues.... I can see how that can be confusing to understand.
Ah okay thanks!
“Mcintree”. Wow. Just wow
A family name?
Yea got rid of the racist crest that show history of how the city was founded. Get rid of everyone’s idea of history, of how your community was founded. So people wanted to farm and be free from reconstruction, but people want that history to not exist. Those people are ignorant and always will be
What's with the third guy he doesn't talk? I've watched over half this video and not seen one person in that town.
The third guy with us is a friend of ours who is from Brazil and we were hanging out with but he did not know the history of the area so he was just hanging out while we told the history we had read about it and gave our opinions.
@@JustLifeTravels
It's funny , as soon as I said that he started talking. Lol
Haha that’s how it goes sometimes
You played with words, and you appear to be masking disrespect. This is my first time watching one of your videos. I’m beginning to think watching your videos may not be a meaningful and worthwhile use of my time. Hope you guys are better than you appear.
We both have family that fought on both sides of the civil war
Sad!!!!!! they fought for what was wrong how is that patriotic????? or anything else
@@Laylow1212The moral compass of society has changed drastically throughout time. In those days it was believed by many that there was nothing wrong with slavery. It’s easy to criticize others for their wrongdoings but what is more important is to individually learn how to be more kind, compassionate and forgiving.
@@MamacitaBonita 😂😂😂😂😂 ya you soft
I've been there.
What did you think of it?
It’s similar to the hoards of Nazi’s that ran to Argentina to escape war crime prosecution and started their life there. Would a ‘celebration’ of Nazism with Swastika flags be ‘preserving history’?? Some things are best remembered but left in the past and not glorified, I am not seeing this come through in your video which is a shame
It's not. Limited government and limited taxation were the battle cries of the American Revolution and the War of Northern Aggression.
The Germans engaged in a crusade agaisnt Bolshevism
Yeah they got mad that the slaves where freed and they left to Brazil. The end
If you don’t like history you probably shouldn’t watch videos about history
@@JustLifeTravels oh it’s not that I don’t like it. I live in town where the 37 North Carolina infantry battled the 17th Vermont infantry at the battle of Petersburg AND I’ve cleaned the national park where the battle of the crater was at. *Ich Leibe Geschichte lernen* I wanting videos on history on the time including South American and and Turko-ottoman history as well which in all intensive are involved in confederate American history. Am I saying anyone should be ashamed of who they are or who they are related to but I know where this conversation leads yes they where all saints
@@veldrensavoth7119You did a whole lotta word vomit, fella
@@AwfulBullet not really vomit.
The civil war was not about slaves
Mc Entree 😂
Great musician
yippee 30% yippee
30%?
2:08 nice love how ya just blow past that little bit of information there 😂😂😂😂😂 right yes tell me more of this magical place. Mmm slaves you say? And where are their descendants? Were they ever reunited with their American families? Did they receive reparations from their slave masters?? I have a lot of questions buddy
Slavery continued for a time in Brazil and several decades later it came to an end, when it ended Brazil had a massive slave population that was now free far larger than any other country in history. A lot of the former slaves would establish communities on the outskirts of cities which would develop into the favelas of the modern day. They will have by now fully integrated into Afro Brazilian and pardo culture.
Race mixing is extremely common in Brazil today so during the honoring of the confederate settlers you will see many black looking people who may even be partially related to the slaves and the masters of the original community but I can’t say a specific person that I know for sure that is true for.
If you are interested, we actually did another video in Nigeria where the slave trade took many people from Africa to Brazil among other places. Lagos’s Slave Island (Nigeria) 🇳🇬

Do you guys have any black friends? Just curious.
We both live in America I think the answer is pretty obvious.
So a yes or a no?
Yes, but it’s irrelevant to the history of a place in Brazil.
Why you race baiting ?
@@JustLifeTravelshow would ur so called black friends think huh!!! Huh!!!!!!?
Yes it's valid people who lived there didn't want that flag representing their city they made that decision I think you guys did a little too much "siding" if you will with the Confederates vs giving us the history of the city like we don't need your opinion of why or what they wanted "he wanted a simple farming life" we don't know what he wanted you have a tour guide shout out to him he was ready to work he got paid for pretty much accompanying you all
We sided with the preservation of history, would you think we gave our opinions too much if we said the opposite and you agreed with us?
@@JustLifeTravels im a Libra I tend to be fair being honest I probably wouldn't mind you all leaning more towards the other side opinion wise but, the important thing is the history of the city. Imo it was left out or overlooked, facts on the city was what I was looking for. There were too many personal opinions for me the video wasn't very factual.
@@Official_HaveYouHeard Well you know what they say. If you don't like it, don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya.
Are you guys open to real debate? Or are you slanted in your view regarding confederate rebels? Just for clarity.
Debate regarding what?
Oh silly protestants!! 😂😂
Yeah those silly Protestants keep making the best countries, they are some funny people. Too much innovation and literacy for a good Catholic boy to enjoy.
Por isso nosso país é uma merda, com essa bandeira no nosso país.
The flag has been in Brazil since the 1870s, it has been in the USA aswell since the 1860s and it’s the richest country on earth. I think the flag might not be the thing that caused whatever issue you personally have with the Brazilian state.
Acho que não conhece seu presidente da República
Vc Nao sabe nada sobre esta bandeira - STFU 😂.
Sad
What? Your life or your intelligence?
@@JustLifeTravels naw but the 3 white boys that was proud to be promoting the worst of the worst like its something to be happy abt goofy!!!! Traitors but ur family served on both sides😂😂😂 boy I tell you trumpers a doing anything to justify evil
The third guy is a Brazilian friend of ours not actually white but nice try. Yeah that’s fine if nuance and understanding is too complicated for you. Based on what I’ve read from you so far it’s in no way surprising though. Ignorance is bliss so at least you have that going for you.
As a Hispanic male its good that we have white people in brazil because we need more hot white women in Spanish countries
Haha idk a lot of Latin American countries seem to be at the perfect balance right now.
@@JustLifeTravels😂😂😂😂😂 sad
