In the 19th century, as a form of resistance to the attempt of abolishing African slavery in the United States of America, the southern states of the country united under the name of Confederation. Structured on the ideology of white supremacy, this political union fought in the name of slavery during the years of civil war. More than a century after the war, the memory of this historical period remains alive throughout the American south, where Confederate flags fly and Confederate monuments occupy prominent places. Through a series of immigration events, this culture branched out to other parts of the world, reaching the country of Brazil. The city of Santa Bárbara D oeste, in São Paulo, is the national epicenter of this culture, where a large Confederate festival is celebrated annually. This text explores the contemporary Confederate culture and examines the unexpected presence of this culture in Brazil, using a narrative approach to explain its manifestations and impacts on material reality, exploring the intricate relationship between the confederation and the concepts of whiteness and racism.
