The United Daughters of the Confederacy is the group primarily responsible for the erection of allll those Confederate statues we've been arguing about for years - yet their name is still largely unknown and untarnished in the eyes of the general public. But as the group largely responsible for the way the South has spent the last 150 years learning about Civil War history (aka, the Lost Cause myth versus what actually happened) and for spending millions on Confederate monuments, we think it's high time that you know who these women (white, Southern, and genteel) are - and what they have wrought.
