Title A name given to the resource Daughters Preserving Confederate Heritage Description An account of the resource This collection explores Confederate monuments, statues, and memorials that were funded by or preserved by the United Daughters of the Confederacy across the United States. Who are the Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) and How Did They Form? The first chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 10, 1894, by Caroline Meriwether Goodlett of Tennessee (Founder) and Lucian H. “Anna Davenport” Raines of Georgia (Co-founder). Women from many “hospital associations, sewing societies, and knitting circles” organized together to help soldiers in the South during the Civil War. After the war, they helped erect cemeteries, memorials, monuments, and associations dedicated to the memory of Confederate soldiers through the Lost Cause ideology. [1] What is the Lost Cause Ideology? The Lost Cause Ideology is a false claim and representation of the Confederacy as heroic and the Civil War as a war where the South “fought nobly and against all odds not to preserve slavery… [but for] the rights of states to govern themselves.” In other words, the Confederacy is seen in a positive light as just and simply acting in defense “against northern aggression.” [2] This is the central message the UDC aims to preserve to honor their Confederate ancestors. [1] The UDC’s Impact: The organization currently has 41 chapters and divisions in the United States from New York to California. [3] To become a member of the organization, eligibility includes proof of lineage to “men and women who served honorably in the Army, Navy, or Civil Service of the Confederate States of America, or who gave Material Aid to the Cause.” [4] In the 126 years since its formation, the UDC has helped to erect or preserve over 50 memorials and monuments. The UDC also seeks to preserve historical records that pertain to the Civil War (1861-1865), such as rare books, documents, diaries, letters, personal records, and more. Most recently, the UDC has turned their main objective to preserving Confederate monuments and memorials that were erected by members in the past. In response to much negativity towards the Confederacy, the UDC seeks to teach the historical and lineage connected to these statues. More on the Collection: This collection contains five monuments: "Appomattox," "United Confederate Veterans Memorial," "Confederate Memorial Fountain," "The Lookout" and "Silent Sam." Unlike the other collections surrounding a specific location, this collection shifts the focus to one of the most influential supporters of the Confederate monuments throughout the US. The collection includes various monuments located in unique locations, and, more importantly, set a precedent for other Confederate monuments across the US. Within the collection, you will find one monument once located in Seattle, Washington, an unlikely state to have an UDC chapter. Plus, several monuments that the UDC helped to relocate in response to calls for removal or destruction.

Title A name given to the resource Monument to Confederate Women, Little Rock, Arkansas Description An account of the resource The statue is made of bronze, marble and concrete. It is standing on a tall pedestal on the lawn of the Arkansas State Capitol in Little Rock. The statue depicts a mother, her daughter, young son saying goodbye to her older son who is joining his father into battle. The monument was built to remind future generations of the sacrifice that many southern women had to keep the home front steady. The Plaque reads: “To The Confederate Women Of Arkansas 1861–1865 “Whose Pious Ministrations To Our Wounded Soldiers Soothed The Last Hours Of Those Who Died For The Object Of Their Tenderest Love; Whose Domestic Labors Contributed Much To Supply The Wants Of Our Defenders In The Field; Whose Jealous Faith In Our Cause Shone A Guiding Star, Undimmed By The Darkest Clouds Of War; Whose Fortitude Sustained Them Under All The Privations To Which They Were Subjected; And Whose Patriotism Will Teach Their Sons To Emulate The Deeds Of Their Sires.” This Monument Is Erected By The State Of Arkansas And The Confederate Veterans[1] More about the Artist/Funder/Owner: The artist of the monument is J. Otto Schweizer, the original name for the monument is “Mother of the South”. The monument is six tiers tall. The monument is built with bronze, concrete, marble and a granite base. The options for the materials used for the monument, allow for the monument to be casted strongly and have a permanent place on the lawn of the capitol. The United Confederate Veterans began to fundraise money for the statue by writing and publishing a book of Confederate Women of Arkansas first hand accounts during the Civil War. The book is titled “Confederate Women of Arkansas 1861-1865: Memorial Reminiscence. The combination of both the book sales and the contribution of state funds, the monument was able to be purchased. Monument to the Confederate Women is still standing on the capitol grounds and it is listed a National Historic Place. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource J.
