Even without the right to vote, members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy proved to have enormous social and political influence throughout the South - all in the name of preserving Confederate culture. Karen L. Cox's history of the UDC, an organization founded in 1894 to vindicate the Confederate generation and honor the Lost Cause, shows why myths surrounding the Confederacy continue to endure.

The Daughters, as UDC members were popularly known, were daughters of the Confederate generation. While Southern women had long been leaders in efforts to memorialize the Confederacy, UDC members made the Lost Cause a movement about vindication as well as memorialization. They erected monuments, monitored history for "truthfulness", and sought to educate coming generations of white southerners about an idyllic past and a just cause-states' rights. Soldiers' and widows' homes, perpetuation of the mythology of the antebellum South, and pro-Southern textbooks in the region's white public schools were all integral to their mission of creating the New South in the image of the Old. UDC members aspired to transform military defeat into a political and cultural victory, in which states' rights and white supremacy remained intact.

I have many confederate books for historical purposes and I decided to give this one a listen. It’s not a bad book at all. Tells a lot about the UDC and has some nice back history I didn’t know about. Overall a great book to me.

Great history on the UDC

I knew somewhat about the United Daughters of the Confederacy, knew about them putting up monuments and helping Confederate veterans, but didn't realize how much they were tied into the myth of the Lost Cause. This is a perfect book for anyone who wants to know a concise history of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and Lost Cause mythology.

Very Interesting History on the UDC

Cox's book remains an important work, displaying the divergence and fight between history and historical memory, as well as how historical memory is used as indoctrination.

Excellent history
