Tonight, I bring to you my last message as Historian General. ^> I must confess there comes with it a certain sadness, for I have so enjoyed this honor which you have bestowed upon me for the past five years—the highest honor, I consider, to a woman in the gift of women. It has brought me in close historical touch with distinguished men and women all over our land, and it has enabled me to form many charming friendships, for which I thank you. The beau- tiful words of appreciation I have received from all have touched me greatly, especially the tender, loving words of encourage- ment, cheer, and help that have come to me from our Veterans. God bless and keep them with us many more years to aid us in righting the wrongs against our South and her high ideals. I must not lose this opportunity, Daughters of the Confederacy, one and all, to thank you for the lovely roses you have so freely cast into my life ! I have ever believed in the doctrine of throw- ing the roses while one lives—so there will be no need for you to send any floral tribute to lay upon my casket when this life on earth shall have ended.

  • Southern Women and the Print Culture of the Lost Cause, 1850
    “Unswerving Devotion to Truth and Duty”: Southern Women and the Print Culture of the Lost Cause, 1850-1920 By Ashley Robles Robles 1 Table of Contents Introduction, pg. 2 Chapter 1: White Southern Women and Lost Cause Fiction, 1850-1900, pg. 8 Chapter 2: The Lost Cause in Memoirs and Nonfiction and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, 1880-1920, pg. 22 Chapter 3: African-American Women Writers and the Lost Cause, 1880-1900, pg. 34 Conclusion, pg. 50 Bibliography, pg. 52 Robles 2 Introduction Within a few decades after the end of the conflict, the Civil War had taken on literal and ideological meanings far beyond the battlefield. Once the task of reconciliation and Reconstruction had begun, many people, North and South, fought to determine the future of the war’s memory. Within the former Confederate states, white men and women resisted Reconstruction and rejected the new racial order that had been created due to the abolition of slavery. At Reconstruction’s end, these former Confederates worked to re-create the Old South, enforcing prewar racial and gender hierarchies while romanticizing the Confederacy and its war. This rewriting of Civil War memory in the service of contemporary upheavals would become the Lost Cause. Historian Gaines M. Foster explains the Lost Cause’s hold on southern memories of the war as “they [white southerners] remembered the battle but had forgotten its pain, its cost, and its issues.”1 More importantly, the Lost Cause also became a tool of white supremacy—a justification for slavery, for black inferiority, and for contemporary Jim Crow laws and racial segregation.

  • Altered Narratives: How Women Changed History in the Post-Civil War South
    Altered Narratives: How Women Changed History in the Post-Civil War South Emma Connolly Dr. Haywood Senior Thesis Seminar April 24, 2020 MY ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS... Project began as an analysis of the United Daughters of the Confederacy specifically, and how they influenced modern Confederate culture/Monument controversy Eventually... Analysis of the origins, development, methods, and impact of various southern women's heritage organizations founded in the post-war period. Who were these women? How and why did they organize? What ideas did they promote, and why? Senior Thesis 2020 NOTE: For the purposes of this project, the term "southern women" refers specifically to white, upper-middle class, fairly aristocratic women who lived in former Confederate states... The stories of various other women (i.e. black women, poorer white women, etc.) while important, are too extensive for me to cover well in this project. Senior Thesis 2020 Through their involvement in activities such as memorialization, education, and the promotion of supposedly true and unbiased history, white southern women were able to preserve a biased historical narrative of the antebellum south and the Civil War, as they hoped to preserve the supposed honor and glory of the Old South and her fallen sons. GENERAL DEFINITIONS & ACRONYMS Ladies' Memorial Associations (LMA) Local, independent memorial organizations formed during Reconstruction, focused on creating cemeteries & memorializing fallen Confederate soldiers Lost Cause Ideology (LCI) Set of beliefs which attempts to combat the "vilification" of the Confederacy by the north by painting slavery, secession, and the South in a favorable light United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) Heritage/Memorial organization which was largely responsible for promoting and preserving the Lost Cause (nationalized LMA's) Senior Thesis 2020 SOURCE MATERIAL Mainly used Secondary Sources (Interesting to note that most if not all of the literature on LMAs and the UDC is written by female historians) Primary source material Textbooks, pamphlets, catechism, etc.

  • Teaching the Confederacy: Textbooks in the Civil War South
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: TEACHING THE CONFEDERACY TEXTBOOKS IN THE CIVIL WAR SOUTH Laura Elizabeth Kopp, M.A., 2009 Directed By: Associate Professor Leslie Rowland, Department of History During the Civil War, at least 136 textbooks appeared in the states that made up the Confederacy, more than half of them in 1863 and 1864. The production of so many textbooks under difficult wartime circumstances suggests their significance in the promotion of Confederate values and ideologies. This thesis examines the Confederate textbook campaign, including the motives of authors and publishers, and analyzes the content of the textbooks themselves, including such themes as patriotism, gender roles, war, and death. While similar to antebellum textbooks in many respects, Confederate textbooks portrayed slavery as central to Southern society and offered explicit defenses of the institution. They also sought to promote Confederate nationalism among the new nation's youngest citizens and instructed children to honor and memorialize the Confederacy. The pages of Confederate textbooks constituted vital terrain for the shaping of the hearts and minds of Southern children. TEACHING THE CONFEDERACY TEXTBOOKS IN THE CIVIL WAR SOUTH By Laura Elizabeth Kopp Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2009 Advisory Committee: Associate Professor Leslie Rowland, Chair Associate Professor David Grimsted Assistant Professor Renée Ater © Copyright by Laura Elizabeth Kopp 2009 Acknowledgements Historical research would be impossible without the support of archivists and librarians, and this work is no exception.

A RHETORIC OF RESENTMENT: DISMANTLING WHITE SUPREMACY THROUGH DEFINITION, SCHOLARSHIP, AND ACTION A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Whitney Jordan Adams May 2020 Accepted by: Dr. Cameron Bushnell, Committee Chair Dr. David Blakesley Dr. Abel Bartley Dr. Mike Coggeshall i ABSTRACT A Rhetoric of Resentment: Dismantling White Supremacy through Definition, Scholarship, and Action examines the role that Confederate symbolism and ideology has in informing both white supremacist and resentment rhetoric. Using a recently published alt-right text for analysis, I trace how groups affiliated with the alt-right use their version of rhetoric to keep and garner followers. I argue that this rhetoric can be dismantled not only though scholarship, but also through positive pedagogical disturbance, rhetorical listening, and action in the classroom and community. The academic and social outcomes of this dismantling result a New Dialogic pedagogy, a form of Anti- Racist Pedagogy, which promotes teaching for activism.
