   We're continuing with Part 2 of discussing the connections between the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), the Lost Cause, & Confederate monuments.

   The UDC, Lost Cause, & Confederate Monuments Part 1

   If you’ve ever wondered why some people refer to the U.S. Civil War as the ‘war between the states’ or ‘Lost Cause’ or if you’ve ever wondered why there are so many Confederate statues all over the US, even in states that weren’t apart of it, or if you’ve wondered why some people say that slavery ‘wasn’t that bad’ and that most white families treated their slaves like extended family…. you’re in the right place. Surprisingly, there is one group that has been the most influential in pushing these narratives & monuments & it might not be who you think it is…This week we’re gonna be talking about the United Daughters of the Confederacy & the lasting impact they’ve had on US History & how the Confederacy is remembered.CONNECT: Instagram: @yappinabouthistorypodTikTok: @yappinabouthistorypodEmail me: yappinabouthistory@gmail.comSOURCES:-No Common Ground by Karen L.
