Hey, it's Thanksgiving today in the USA and Brazil, and also kind of in Japan, so maybe it's a good day for me to ask, WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?

Didn’t 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
