Abstract
The article examines the complex relationship between Giuseppe Garibaldi and the Confederate South during the American Civil War, particularly in Georgia from 1860 to 1865. It highlights how Garibaldi's efforts for Italian unification resonated with Southern sentiments, as many in Georgia initially viewed him as a symbol of their own struggle for independence. However, as Garibaldi's anti-slavery stance became more prominent, Southern media began to distance themselves from him, ultimately transforming his image from a revolutionary hero to an anti-slavery icon. The article illustrates how Garibaldi's legacy was appropriated and reinterpreted by various factions, reflecting the shifting political landscape of the time. [Extracted from the article]
