[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidney Lanier, from Wikipedia: The United Daughters of the Confederacy worked successfully to enhance Lanier's legacy Amazing how ingrained these symbols of white supremacy are in our communities. I had no idea. [/quote] There’s a great book, Dixie’s Daughters, about how the United Daughters of the Confederacy created “the Lost Cause”. It gave these women clout in their communities —remember, they couldn’t vote yet during the height of monument building. I’m making the rising 9th graders in my home read it before taking USH 9 and APUSH next year.[/quote] I remember in college a friend from the South made this impassioned emotional argument about how the Civil War wasn’t about slavery but some sort of noble cause and it was so disturbing to me. Time to undo this BS. [/quote]
