Confederate monuments and memorials
Brazil
### Brazil

* In 1865, at the end of the American Civil War, a substantial number of [Southerners](/wiki/Southern_United_States "Southern United States") left the South; many moved to other parts of the United States, such as the [American West](/wiki/American_Old_West "American Old West"), but a few left the country entirely. The most popular country of [Southerners](/wiki/Southern_United_States "Southern United States") emigration was Brazil, which still allowed slavery and wanted to encourage cotton production. These emigrants were known as [Confederados](/wiki/Confederados "Confederados"). A Confederate monument was erected in the city of [Americana](/wiki/Americana%2C_S%C3%A3o_Paulo "Americana, São Paulo"), São Paulo state, Brazil.
