Abstract
The arrival of the American protestant missionaries in Brazil along with American immigrants from Southern US happened from the second half of the XIX century on, in an attempt to reconstruct life after the civil war. The most significant nesting of American immigrants occured in the province of Sao Paulo inlands, mainly around the cities Santa Barbara D’Oeste and Americana. This study aims at identifying the civilization dimension of the immigrants and American missionaries in Brazil focusing the analysis in three aspects: the technology, the education and the protestant religion. The hypotheses that the text aims to prove are that these Americans had passed from the condition of outsiders to established ones, as well as they produced a civilizing process, regarding their command over codes, techniques and instruments that were mode modern than those that existed in the second half of the XIX century in Brazil.
