Question
You answered a question back in November 2002 regarding this subject. And didn't have information about Southern confederate immigration to Argentina in the post-American Civil War period. There was a large group of Southerners who emigrated to Brasil at that time. Specifically at the urging of Emperor Dom Pedro II, who wanted the expertise in growing cotton in Brasil. Most settled in and around Americana approx 200km NW of São Paulo. At one time the crest of the city of Americana included the Crossed Bars of the confederacy. see this article from the Washington Post: http://www.researchonline.net/sccw/brazil2.htm
Did you have any luck with your research following your original answer, I didn't see a follow-up response.
Dear Mike,
Thank you for your message.
Your question was very specific and you should contact someone specialized in history or an expert in immigration in order to have more information. Also, the article you have mentioned refers to Brazil, not Argentina, but I do appreciate your interest in sharing this information with me.

Expertise
I was born in Argentina and have lived ever since so I can answer all kinds of questions about my country. I have also visited other countries and that has given me a wider perspective which enables me help foreigners in a better way. I have travelled along Argentina, from the north to the south and have been to almost its 22 provinces. I have also worked for a travel agency in the inbound tourism department. I enjoy being a hostess very much and feel willing to assist foreigners in the best possible way.
Experience
Have travelled a lot along the country. I´ve been in charge of the inbound tourism department at a travel agency. I worked in Japan as a volunteer for a culture exchange organization, giving lectures about Argentina.
