Description
Who Are the United Daughters of the Confederacy®?
The oldest Southern heritage and patriotic organization made up of the lineal (direct) and collateral female descendants of the soldiers, sailors, and statesmen of the Confederate States of America (1861 - 1865). Originally organized as a service organization to aid the Confederate soldiers and their families, today the UDC (hqudc.org) is much, much more. The UDC is a historical, educational, benevolent, patriotic and memorial organization. Our chapters work at preserving history, especially that period of our Southern history that relates to the period from 1855 (when the first stirrings of political unrest were felt) to the present (when we are still affected by feelings engendered by the War.) That makes us historical. We are educational by helping students with scholarships. We are memorial when we mark graves of Confederate soldiers and other markers of our ancestors who fought so gallantly in a troubling war between states. We are benevolent when we do special things for our Real Daughters and Real Granddaughters. We are patriotic when we present Crosses of Military service to veterans, work in Veterans Administration Hospitals, with our projects for days of observance, in our respect for the American and the Confederate flags, and in our genuine love for our nation.
The General organization is divided into State Divisions and the Divisions are divided into districts and chapters. In South Carolina, we have 58 active chapters with nearly 1400 Daughters working to protect the good name of their ancestors.
I am a member of the Daughters of the Confederacy because I feel it would please my ancestor to know that I appreciate what he did and delight his soldier love to know that I do not consider the cause which he held so dear to be lost or forgotten. Rather, I am extremely proud of the fact that he was part of it and was numbered among some of the greatest and bravest men that any such cause ever produced.
