A woman buys beverages in a cashier decorated with American, Brazilian, and Confederate flags during a party to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War in Santa Barbara d'Oeste, Brazil, Sunday, April 26, 2015. Amid food and beer stands bedecked with red-white-and-blue ribbons, extended families tuck into diet-busting barbecue and hamburger lunches as “Dixie” plays on a loop. Thousands turn out every year to the party, including many who trace their ancestry back to the dozens of families who, enticed by the Brazilian government's offers of land grants, settled here from 1865 to around 1875.
