Confederates in the Tropics: Charles Swett's Travelogue of 1868
Sharon Hartman Strom
Charles Swett (1828-1910) was a prosperous Vicksburg merchant and small plantation owner who rallied behind the Confederate cause. After the war some of Swett's peers invited him to explore the possibility of settling in British Honduras. Confederates in the Tropics uses Swett's 1868 travelogue to explore the motives of would-be Confederate migrants' fleeing defeat and Reconstruction.
