1
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: Hello, welcome to the show. I'm Ben. Oh, hey, I'm sorry,

00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: it's me. It's no, it's no. I'm here. I'm here,

3
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm paying attention, and we're gonna talk about some ridiculous history. Yes,

4
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: and I believe that was a beautiful snatch of song

5
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: there only it would be more like, Uh, I wish

6
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: I was in Brazil. Hooray, hooray in Brazil. L and

7
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: gonna make my stand to live and die in Brazil. Yes,

8
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: that's true. And you may be wondering, Ben Nol, super

9
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: producer Casey Pegram, what do these things have in common?

10
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: What does that? Uh? What does that series of hypnotic

11
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: sensual music? Thank you? Yeah, look at look at me.

12
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm just a cloud of cotton candy and you're just

13
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: the milk of human kindness. We are delving into something

14
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: that uh that that we were hipped to via our

15
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: friends Mangesh and will Over at Part Time Genius, one

16
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: of our Pure podcast. They had an episode recently called

17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: What's the most American place in the world parentheses outside

18
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: of the United States. Yeah, And one of the things

19
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: that came up time and time again were the various

20
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Disneyland theme park attractions all across the globe. In fact,

21
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: in a twenty sixteen study by Branding Magazine, around five

22
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: thousand people Americans were asked of which two hundred forty

23
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: brands best personified the patriotism of the United States and

24
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: associated the Disney brand with US patriotism. But that is

25
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: not what our show is about today, because for truly

26
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: bizarro unusual taste of Americana outside of the US soil,

27
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: we're going to head for the do do Do Do

28
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: Do Do Do Do do do do umbras, Yes, my friends,

29
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: specifically to the Brazilian state of South Polo. Uh. You see,

30
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: in South Polo there is a town, a not insignificant

31
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: town in terms of population, a city of about two

32
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty thousand people called Americana. See we we

33
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: set it up earlier. This is true, and this city

34
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: um welcomed somewhere between. According to various accounts, ten thousand

35
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand American Southerners after the Confederates lost the

36
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: Civil War in the eighteen hundreds. Yeah, when the American

37
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: Confederacy lost the bloody dispute known as the Civil War

38
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: here in the US. In May of eighteen sixty five

39
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: War between the States, the War between the States, brother

40
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 1: against Brother Blue v. Gray, all that stuff. A contingent

41
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: of these Southerners fled the United States entirely seeking to

42
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: rebuild their lives and carry on the cultures to which

43
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: they were accustomed. And we do want to warn, of course,

44
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: that this is not all rainbow glitter trumpets and angel farts,

45
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: as we will see angel farts. Yeah, you know, I'm

46
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: just including things that people probably like. You know, I

47
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: went to a store with my kid over the weekend

48
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: and she but she's really in the slime, and she

49
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: bought the slime called unicorn farts. We're done talking about

50
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: farts now. Now we're going to talk about the settlers

51
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: and where they came from, which was mainly Alabama, Georgia,

52
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: and Texas. And they, as Ben said, one to preserve

53
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: their unreconstructed Southern way of life and also escape possible

54
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: prosecution for treason, no big deal war crimes uh in

55
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: this movement. This group movement occurs due primarily to a

56
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: fellow named William Hutchison Norris. He is the founder of

57
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: this town American of Brazil UH and he was a

58
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Mexican American War veteran and also an Alabama senator. He

59
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: is the one who led the charge along with thirty

60
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: Confederate families believe he was a colonel, right, Yeah, I

61
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: believe so, and he was. He was also just a

62
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: side note here for anyone interested in some fringe history. Uh,

63
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: he was a grand Master of the Alabama Masonic Lodge,

64
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: which is not important to this story, but one of

65
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: those Oh not to be confused with a grand wizard. No, no,

66
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: no Alabama. Good luck planning, right, and not that we

67
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: aren flating, No, no, never, We would never, and I

68
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: mean that we would never. We actually we co host

69
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: a conspiracy realist podcast called Stuff They Don't Want You

70
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: to Know where if you want to hear more about

71
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Illuminati and the like and Masonic rights, check out that show.

72
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, so, Colonel Norris actually established this colony in

73
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: a town currently known as Santa Barbara d est Uh

74
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: and it was actually sometimes referred to as the Norris Colony.

75
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: And the reason that these uh Confederatos as they were

76
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: ultimately referred to as, decided to make that trip was

77
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: because Brazil offered cheap land and slavery was still legal.

78
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's one of the key things here. So

79
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: a lot of the people moving were agricultural experts, right.

80
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Brazil offered cheap land and of incentives essentially, yeah, and

81
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: an agricult cultural system with which these families were unfortunately

82
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: very familiar, which was of course the use of slave labor.

83
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: And at the time Brazil had an emperor, a fellow

84
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: named dom Pedro two, and he didn't just you know,

85
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: turn a blind eye as these families moved in. He

86
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: wanted them there so much so that he offered to

87
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: pay moving costs, which you know, I like the way

88
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: Nol says it. Uh, the idea is essentially like tax incentives.

89
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: I think the cheap land came as an incentive. It

90
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: was to entice these new settlers. And also Don Pedro

91
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: the second was an ally I guess you could say

92
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: of the Confederate cause. So he saw this as an

93
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: opportunity to get new types of agricultural expertise I guess

94
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: in his country. One of those crops was cotton, which

95
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: as we know, is very important staple crop in the

96
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: American South, and Brazilian farmers started to take up these

97
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: new farming methods that they were taught more or less

98
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: by the American settlers, the Confederatos, right, And this all

99
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: begins to happen very quickly after the close of the

100
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: Civil War. By eighteen sixty six, the region was becoming

101
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: noticeably populated with these immigrants from the United States. And

102
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: we should add that not all of them found success.

103
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: There were thousands of people who accepted this deal, but

104
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: only one group of settlers from Alabama, Norris is you know, Cadre,

105
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, thrived and these uh,

106
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: these folks had surnames that you can find in the

107
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: town today like baired We got Buford, Clark, and Curry,

108
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: among others. There's actually a memorial there to this day

109
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: that highlights of these names like Sanders, Seawright, Skurlock, Smith, Steegel, Strong, Tanner.

110
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: And again this all falls under the serenity of the

111
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: suzeranity of Norris. So one thing that's fascinating is that

112
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: the descendants of these settlers spoke English with a Southern

113
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: accent for generations and over time, as people do, they

114
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: intermarried with Brazilians who have been living there since way before,

115
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: and their numbers sword they thrived, they became. You would argue,

116
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: would one would argue, well, actually everybody agrees. They became

117
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: essentially Brazilian, right, and not just some American exclave. But

118
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: like many people in the world, even in the modern day,

119
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: the population of Americana, those two d thirty something thousand

120
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: people love Western music, love Western movies, and of the

121
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: music they love, they're especially fond of wait for it,

122
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: country music. Are you a fan of country music, man

123
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: country and or western? You know? I am a fan

124
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: of very old country, you know, my my family. Without

125
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: getting too deep into the murky past of the Bowling clan,

126
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: they have a extensive roots in Appalachia. So bluegrass, gospel, hey,

127
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: countryment not so, I'm not so much a modern country fan.

128
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what about you. I find most modern

129
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: country music to be pretty un listened a little, but

130
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you on the classics. Um so, let let's

131
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: let's backtrack just to touch sure, let's uh, let's can

132
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: we get a can we get a backtrack? Thevegle noise? Okay,

133
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: here we are only because I think this is interesting

134
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: and worth mentioning, because I feel like we glossed over

135
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: to the tad Don page or the second The ruler

136
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: of Brazil during this time. He ruled from eighteen o

137
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: nine to eighteen sixty five. UM. He was a huge

138
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: admirer of Abraham Lincoln. Actually, so we mentioned the whole

139
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: fact that, you know, slavery was still legal in Brazil,

140
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: and that may have made it attractive to some of

141
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: these settlers. They wanted to continue their way of life

142
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: they were used to. But Don Pedro the second actually

143
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: felt like the idea of slavery had the potential to

144
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: cause a civil war in and in his own country,

145
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: which retrospect seems painfully, painfully, painfully obvious. So he was

146
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: all about getting rid of slavery, and when he kind

147
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: of helped pushed through some measures that did that, he

148
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: was basically deposed. But the work that he did to

149
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: abolish slavery, you know, persevered, and he actually started with

150
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: the uh, hopefully not bucher These too bad, but the

151
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Quiros Law of eighteen fifty, which outlawed the slave trade.

152
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: And then his second one was to proclaim in eighteen

153
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: seventy one the Lido venture livro, which is the Law

154
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: of the Free Womb, which declared that children born of

155
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: slaves would also be free m is you know, and

156
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: then Finally there was the lie area, the Golden Law,

157
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 1: which abolished slavery completely in and that actually caused some

158
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: of the folks that immigrated to Brazil to leave. Also

159
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: during this time when kind of the whole reconstruction situation

160
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: changed and it became much more of the Jim Crow

161
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: you know, post abolition world that we know, uh and

162
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: this spy. Yes. So there there are several really important

163
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: things to underlying here. The Golden Law, if we just

164
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: use the English term for it, is the ultimate no

165
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: caveats manumission law, freeing one from slavery. The other laws

166
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: were sort of gradually weakening the type of slavery that

167
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: existed by degrees and all. Slavery is the plorable, repugnant

168
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: and in my view, in human, but there are several

169
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: different types. And the type of slavery that was practiced

170
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: in the United States leading to the Civil War, and

171
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: then type of slavery that was practiced in Brazil at

172
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: the time intended to be something like chattel slavery. Definitely

173
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: chattel slavery in the US and in Brazil a very

174
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: similar system. This means that it's not say indentured servitude.

175
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be um. It wouldn't be for instance, someone

176
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: being a slave for seven years until a debt is

177
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: considered repaid. It's slavery based on bloodline, which means that

178
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: automatically the child of a slave becomes a slave for life,

179
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: no escape, and any kids that they have are going

180
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: to be the property of whomever is considered legally to

181
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: be the owner of that slave. The reason I brought

182
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: up the whole situation with slavery in Brazil was because

183
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: actually some of the newly freed slaves in the US

184
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: immigrated to Brazil as well, and sometimes they even came

185
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: with their previous owners. And I found this on an

186
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 1: article on Project Gutenberg's self publishing press on the Confederados,

187
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: and it says in this article that there was a

188
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: situation where a former slave by the name of Steve

189
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: Watson was given the run of a sawmill in Brazil

190
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: that belonged to his former owner, a man by the

191
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: name of Judge Dyer of Texas, and when Mr Watson

192
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: came back to the US, um Dyer actually deeded all

193
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: of his remaining property to Watson. In the area of

194
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: the Jukia Valley um where there are many Brazilian families

195
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: with the last name Vaseo, which the Portuguese way of

196
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: pronouncing Watson, So this legacy perseveres to this day in

197
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: a pretty interesting way. Many families did end up traveling

198
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: back to the United States during the reconstruction era. The

199
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: settlers who stayed became quickly successful. They get a reputation

200
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: for honesty and hard work. The new techniques they brought

201
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: for existing agricultural products worked well, but they also brought

202
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: new food crops and new ways of cooking food or

203
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: preparing it. And as we know, you can learn so

204
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: much about the human story through the transmission of food,

205
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: whether we're talking spices like peppercorn or saffron, whether we're

206
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: talking staples like rice, or how tomatoes made it to Italy,

207
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: which is its own other story. I guess before I

208
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: derail as too much, let be let me stay focused

209
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: on Brazil. I think it's because I just I didn't

210
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: eat before we came in here. So now food history

211
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: is automatically, uh, automatically capturing my mind to just pound

212
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: the rest of that five hour energy. Dude, just do it,

213
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: do it? Do it? Uh. Some some of the dishes

214
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: that were standouts that we're very popular in this area Brazil,

215
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: where things like chess pie or vinegar pie, fried chicken

216
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: vinegar pie. Vinegar pie doesn't have the most appealing name.

217
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: I would grant you that. Uh it's it's like eggs

218
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,359
Speaker 1: with a little bit of cinnamon, sugar and two tablespoons

219
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: of cider vinegar. He makes something like you feed two

220
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: kids when they've misbehaved or no. It's the thing people

221
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: people eat it for fun and it has sort of

222
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: an apple pie like flavor because of the cider, but

223
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: there's a custardy vibe to it as well. You know,

224
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: I haven't tried it. I'd love to hear from someone

225
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: who has. Maybe you know what, Friends and neighbors, thank

226
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: you so much for listening to show. I'd like to

227
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: defer to you on this. If you have tried vinegar pie,

228
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: let us know if this is something that we should

229
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: delve into, if we should try it ourselves, or you know,

230
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: warn us if it's a traumatic experience for you. The

231
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: Southern food, right, the Southern food is is pretty pretty

232
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: successful and it catches on and as we said, these

233
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: Confederados as they were called, I guess, continue their culture

234
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: and as best they could right, and similar to the

235
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: hippos that traveled to Columbia with Pablo Escobar, they thrived

236
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: in a way that might seem, you know, counterintuitive at first,

237
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: to the point that this is not just an odd

238
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: historical footnote, it's a ridiculous historical footnote, right, yes, And

239
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: it's a current practice because if you travel down to

240
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: Americana Brazil today, you will not just see one monuments

241
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: and maybe a couple of placards and old farms roll plantations. No,

242
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: depending on when you go, you might find yourself in

243
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: the midst of a very strange, very strange party, something

244
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: of a shin dig, something of a suare. You see

245
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: every year for the last quarter century, the descendants of

246
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: these Confederados gather for a gigantic party that celebrates their

247
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: vision of Confederate culture, which, you know what is sort

248
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: of reminds me of did you ever go to Six

249
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: Flags over Georgia? Yeah? I have season passes. You know

250
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: that about me? Ben, No, I'm setting you up the

251
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still the same because it's

252
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: talking about Lick Skillet Junction right right where they've got

253
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: Dixie music playing the whole time. I almost picture it

254
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: like that. So the population of the town gets together.

255
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: They dress up in gray like Johnny reb uniforms and

256
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: then hoop skirts and they dance around to fiddle and

257
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: banjo tunes and then the copious amounts of Confederate flag wavings,

258
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: shall we say wavings. They even have a dance floor

259
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: emblazoned with the what do they call it, old old

260
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: old glory, that's it. Yeah, And they're not alone. Over

261
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: the years, reporters have traveled to check out the celebration,

262
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: and uh so have Confederate enthusiasts from the United States,

263
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: nan actors descendants themselves from Confederate soldiers and the like.

264
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: In fact, the first of all the party, the annual

265
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: festival is called the Festa Confederata and um, you know

266
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: I said, it's marked by Confederate flags, Confederate uniforms, the

267
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: hoop skirts you mentioned, um, and this fusion of you know,

268
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: Southern culture with Brazilian culture, dancing, um, popular music that

269
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, like you're saying, banjo music and all the

270
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: stuff that you would have heard during the Antebellum period.

271
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: And they have this affection, this affinity, if you will,

272
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: for the Confederate flag and then as you know, listeners,

273
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: as you know, this is something of a problematic emblem

274
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: today more than ever, I would say, in our country. Yes,

275
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: here in the United States as we record this in

276
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Uh, the nation is engaging in a debate

277
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: about symbols and their historical significance. And one of the

278
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: big flashpoints for this in our country is always going

279
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: to be, or has always been, up to now, the

280
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: Confederate flag. Since the end of the Civil War to

281
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: the modern day. People have argued back and forth about

282
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: what waving this flag means, right, And the same thing

283
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: goes for statues monuments. You know. We are based in Atlanta,

284
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: where we are just a few minutes drive away from

285
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: a gigantic Confederate monument. It known as Stone Mountain. Yeah,

286
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: it's literally a mountain with a big old Confederate scene

287
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: shell we say, um carved into the rock. Um. Who

288
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: are those dudes? Yeah, there are three Confederate figures depicted

289
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: in just gigantic scale on on Stone Mountain there, Jefferson Davis,

290
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson. It's interesting because with

291
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: all the talk these days in the news about you know,

292
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: removing Confederate monuments from um cities, the courthouse offensive, they're offensive,

293
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be on public land, etcetera. Uh, it came out.

294
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: It's really interesting that Roberty Lee it was kind of

295
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: against Confederate monuments in the first place, and then they

296
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: didn't really pop up until years, you know, after the

297
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: Civil War. It's a really great quote from Roberty Lee

298
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: where he says, quote, I think it wiser not to

299
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: keep open the source of war with to follow the

300
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: example of those nations who endeavored to obliterate the marks

301
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: of civil strife, and to commit to oblivion the feelings

302
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: it engendered. And so back to Brazil. Is actually a

303
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: really fantastic article in the New York Times about this town.

304
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: This Santa Barbara de Asto, Yeah, yeah, by Simon Romero.

305
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: Right's right in the very first sentence um in the article.

306
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna quote because this is great. The set scene

307
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: Santa Barbara Deasto, Brazil, on a stage festooned with Confederate flags.

308
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: The singer was belting out dixieland Delight by Alabama near

309
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: an obelisk, honoring the Americans who fled to this outpost

310
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: in the aftermath of the Civil War. Here's the important quote.

311
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: We're not racists, says Cissero car fifty four, an engineer

312
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: whose great great grandfather hailed from Texas. Wearing a fedora

313
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: featuring the rebel battle flag. He explained in Portuguese, we're

314
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: just revering our ancestors who had the good sense to

315
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: settle in Brazil. This is actually a really really interesting touchpoint,

316
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 1: like considering what's going on in our country right now

317
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: and the ar uments for and against removing these relics

318
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: of the past, and whether it actually means you're actively

319
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: being racist or you're actively um celebrating celebrating slavery in

320
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: some way, or you know, um. And I think this

321
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: is a very interesting case study where this is almost

322
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: like a weird back to the Disneyland thing. This is

323
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: almost like this kind of removed version of this, you know,

324
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: where it's not functional exactly. It's like a I don't know,

325
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: I I think I see what you're saying. Because, as

326
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: as we'll find out at the end, this is not

327
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: the only situation where something like this has occurred foreign

328
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: country or in a non US country, or let's even

329
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: go further and say a country not directly associated with

330
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: the conflict UH that is, you know, being celebrated, and

331
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: it's very important for us to underline these these following things.

332
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: The average person celebrating this sees it as a celebration

333
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: of their own history, the history of Americana Brazil. They

334
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: do not see it as a, as we said, a

335
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: celebration of slavery, or in any way a celebration of

336
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: man's in humanity to man or people's in humanity two people. Rather.

337
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: In fact, the Confederados have downplayed their ancestors interest in

338
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: maintaining UH slavery system. But you know, this doesn't just

339
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: include the context of the US. We must also include

340
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: the context of Brazil, which was the last country in

341
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: either American continent to abolish slavery. It wasn't until eighteen

342
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: eighty eight. And then after that, slave like conditions and

343
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: situations continued. There were still going to be you know,

344
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: agricultural wage slavery, despite the best efforts of our boy

345
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: Dumpage or the second despite his best efforts. And this

346
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: means that despite the intervening decades, including nineteen forty where

347
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: there was a constitutional amendment prohibiting employers from submitting workers

348
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: to quote conditions analogous to slavery. Um Brazil was still

349
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: desperate to modernize, and this incentivize farm owners to start

350
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: putting wage laborers in debt and then holding them in bondage,

351
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: preventing their freedom of movement off the plantation. So more

352
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: that indentured servitude exactly exactly, and Americana itself got caught

353
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: up in this controversy in two thousand thirteen, in January,

354
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: the Brazilian Ministry of Labor orchestrated a sting in Americana

355
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: and it found Bolivian immigrants manufacturing baby clothes under the

356
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: supervision of two Bolivian bosses. Uh they broke up the factory,

357
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: the Ministry of Labor, that is, and they sued. They

358
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: said the conditions they found were deplorable or execrable enough

359
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: to constitute slavery. But of every single person or the

360
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: average person, again that you ask about slavery in this town,

361
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: most people will say, well, I don't there's no slavery here,

362
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: and this is not in any way a celebration of that.

363
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: So what seems to be a flashpoint of conflict here

364
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 1: in the United States is simply a the same thing

365
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: as like the annual town Fair. I think that's what

366
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 1: I was kind of poorly stumbling my way toward earlier.

367
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: Is that it feels like that Six Flags or Disneyland

368
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: kind of recreation of a of a situation where the

369
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: roots of negativity are somehow kind of whitewashed away a

370
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: little bit. It doesn't mean I don't it's still kind

371
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: of picked me out a little bit, to be honest,

372
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But it's interesting. And in fact,

373
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: in nine teen seventy two, Jimmy Carter came to the

374
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: region for a visit to Americana, and in you know,

375
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: in preparing for his visit, the Americana actually added the

376
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: Confederate flag into its municipal coat of arms. UM. But

377
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: actually most people that live there these days are Italian descended,

378
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: so they removed it because the descendants of the Confederatos

379
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: apparently now comprised only about a tenth of the population

380
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: of the area. UM. But when Carter was there, he

381
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: visited the Santa Barbara de Este and visited the grave

382
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: of um a relative of his wife Rosalind her relatives

383
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: was one of the original Confederatos, and while he was

384
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: there he couldn't help but notice that everyone just seemed

385
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: just like good old Southerners because we know Jimmy Carter

386
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: being from Atlanta as we are. Um, he is the

387
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: portrait of a Southern gentleman. Yes, yes, he knows it

388
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: when he sees. So if you're listening to this, Jimmy,

389
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: feel free to give us a call. Well, answer the phone.

390
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: It's actually really nice, guys, several where coworkers of metam.

391
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: He does all this habitat for humanity stuff, and he's

392
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: got the Carter Center does all this amazing work election monitoring,

393
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: yet disease uh, disease mitigation. Yeah, so Nolan, I want

394
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: to be clear that we're not denigrating the people in

395
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: Americana who celebrate this way. We're hopefully painting some of

396
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: the context here. Because the idea of and exclave, you know,

397
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: the idea of people moving to a foreign country and

398
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: attempting to make it function as if it is just

399
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 1: the same thing as the country from which they originated.

400
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: It's it's a fairly i don't want to say common,

401
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: but it's not as rare as it might sound, you know,

402
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: and there have been multiple attempts in South America, even

403
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: in Brazil by West nurse to sort of recreate the

404
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: concept of the small town USA or the Confederacy or

405
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: whatever their cultural slice of the vinegar pie that his

406
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: American history might be. Still I feel about that. Can

407
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: we call it something else? Uh? Do you want to

408
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: call it delicious? Yum yum pie, apple cider pie. I'm

409
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: fine with that. That's a little better with that, Hey, listeners,

410
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: what do you think it should be called? What should have?

411
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: Disgusting food stuff? How can you make it more palatable

412
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: just by changing the name? And is it disgusting? Is

413
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: it just the name? I'm being I'm being judging because

414
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: there's like barley water probably awesome. Have you ever heard

415
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: of barley water beer? No? No, in in the UK?

416
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: I swear it's squash. And then of course Spotted Dick

417
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: remember that maybe King Ralph with John? Yeah, that was

418
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: great that there's a big joke in that. You're welcome,

419
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: girl talk. We just gave them an idea for the

420
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: next album. I do want to close with just let's

421
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: let's call it a teaser if we can. For another

422
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: strange relationship between American governments or the US government and

423
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: a South American area. It turns out that in Paraguay

424
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 1: President Rutherford B. Hayes is immensely popular. Do you ever

425
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: hear about this? Yeah? He uh, he's immensely popular because

426
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: he awarded territory to Paraguay as an arbiter in a

427
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: boundary dispute between Paraguay and Argentina after the Paraguay and War.

428
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: And we were not gonna we're not gonna just segue

429
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: into that as a whole another episode. But if you're

430
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: interested in these sorts of stories, this is a great read.

Speaker 1: Ruthie b Yeah right right. Actually people had at the

434
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: time his opponents called him Ruther Fraud. I know, it's dirty,

435
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: dirty pool, but find you can find out why he

436
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: remains immensely popular in parts of Paraguay today. And we

Speaker 1: names now Lee Greenwood, and you know what that means.

444
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: Whenever we mentioned Lee Greenwood, that's a new rule on

445
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: the podcast that Noel and I just made up. That

446
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,200
