Confederate colonies

Confederate colonies were founded by refugees from the Confederate States of America who were displaced or who fled their homes during or immediately after the American Civil War of 1861 to 1865. They migrated to various countries, but especially to Brazil (where slavery remained legal) and (to a lesser extent) to Mexico and to British Honduras (present-day Belize).
