Our chapter rating sheets and reports are all due in June and I am excited about being able to fill in many of the blanks and especially the Historian’s questions on books read. Thank you for reading and sharing your books with others. Next year I would like to have you write a short 3 or 4 sentence paragraph on your books that we can put in our newsletter for all to read. Think about it! The Convention will be coming next fall and will be in Marietta October 3-5. I would like to encourage you to think about going. Sharing rooms makes it more affordable and the fellowship with other daughters is wonderful. Start saving your money now! I am excited about our prospective members and encourage you to invite anyone you think might be interested to attend our meetings and get to know us. If you have any ideas for the newsletter or chapter programs you would like to see, please let me know.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:20 with the singing of Blest Be the Tie That Binds Volume 3 Issue 9 Heard County Chapter 2587 Pa ge 3 My Personal Confederate Memorial Day April 26 is Confederate Memorial Day in Georgia. On this day I will go to a small cemetery on the side of the road in Heard County, Georgia. There I will visit the graves of three men who represent that war. I am no stranger to this place. Having been born in a log house next door, I often played there when I was a small child. What fun it was to search for Dewberries and Maypops among the graves of my ancestors. The first grave I will visit is that of my great, great Grandfather James Jefferson Adamson. James was bitterly opposed to leaving the Union. His own grandfather Basil Adamson had fought in the Revolutionary War and he wanted to keep the Union intact. The second grave is that of my great Grandfather Seaborn Henry Adamson. Seaborn strongly believed that Georgia had the right under the Constitution to leave the Union. He left his wife and children and served in the Confederate Army from 1862 to 1865. The third grave is that of an unknown Union soldier. He was attached to McCook’s Raiders. After being routed in Coweta County on July 31st in 1864, they headed to Alabama. Their objective was to rob, kill, and destroy. The soldier fell from his horse and was left to die among his enemies. It was my great, great Uncle Nathaniel Rufus Adamson who, as a ten year old boy, helped to nurse him in vain. At his death, he made a coffin and dug a grave for him in his family’s cemetery. He wrote a poem about the Unknown Soldier and years later would place a cement slab over the grave and inscribe his poem on it. (See story page 6) I have spent a lifetime wondering about this unknown man. What was his name? Where did he come from,? Did he have family? I will never know the answers to my questions, but what I do know is that when a man is willing to give his life for his beliefs, then the man should never be forgotten, whether he fought for the Confederacy or the Union. Marifaythe Adamson Whitley It should be noted that none of these men owned slaves. Notes from April’s Confederate Lines The Vice President's Manual is now available at the UDC Business Office for $10 plus shipping/handling. You may order using the March 2013 Supply form or phone the UDC Business Office and ask for Shannon. The 2013 Insignia Order forms have all been revised. These revised forms can also be found on the UDC General Web Site. Beginning September 1, 2013, only the 2013 Insignia Order Forms will be accepted. There are new application forms for original applications, supplemental applications, and CofC to UDC transfers. The application instructions have also been updated. The only form that has not changed is the UDC to UDC transfer form. Please visit the UDC website and download the new forms as soon as possible. President General, Jamie Likins, has set a national goal of $20,000 to help our wounded veterans through the Wounded Warrior Project. This would be less than $2.00 per member. Georgia Division UDC is asking all Georgia Chapters to help in reaching this goal. Each chapter is requested to make their chapter membership aware of this need and to collect donations of $1.00 per member or more, if possible, to cover those inactive members or members who cannot or will not participate. Each chapter would collect these donations from their members and then mail a chapter check payable to Georgia Division Treasurer, UDC to her. The Georgia Division Treasurer will then remit a Georgia Division check to General for all the donations. General Chair Russell is hoping to reach our goal by the November Convention in Tulsa. Pa ge 4 Heard County Chapter 2587 Volume 3 Issue 9 Mildred Lewis Rutherford Mildred Lewis "Miss Millie" Rutherford (July 16, 1851 – August 15, 1928) was a prominent educator and author from Athens, Georgia. She served the Lucy Cobb Institute, as its head and in other capacities, for over forty years, and oversaw the addition of the Seney-Stovall Chapel to the school. Heavily involved in many organizations, she became the Historian General of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), and her speech given for the UDC was the first by a woman to be recorded in the Congressional Record. She was a prolific non-fiction writer. Also known for her oratory, Rutherford was distinctive in dressing as a southern belle for her speeches. She held strong pro-Confederacy views and opposed women's suffrage. She was born July 16, 1851, in Athens, Georgia, and was the daughter of Laura Cobb Rutherford and Williams Rutherford, a professor of mathematics at the University of Georgia.

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.

    “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. I am especially indebted to the delightful folks at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in the North Carolina Collection and the Southern Historical Collection.
