Brazil commemorates Thanksgiving? In what bizarro world? I've never met a single person here who ever did that, in fact the vast majority of people have absolutely no clue what Thanksgiving is or that it even exists.
The author is just pulling this shit out of their asses lol.
Didnโt a lot of people (confederate) move to South America, mostly Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina after the civil war?
6000 to Brazil more especifically, somewhat insignificant number if you ask me considering the number of germans, italians, japanese and arabs that immigrated here.
I meant in the context of celebrating thanksgiving.
I know, 6000 people mostly concetrated in the town of Americana with roughly 250k citizens (not all American descendants obviously), so if there's a place that might celebrate Thanksgiving in Brazil, it's there.
~~Isn't that the town Ford had built to make rubber so they could practice"vertical integration?" (Thanks stuff you should know podcast!) Lol~~
Edit: thanks Wikipedia and Caligvla, NO thanks to stuff you should know! Interesting history there lol
