An interesting article. As it states:
"The end game, however, was vindication—recognition by Northerners that the South’s fight had been just and honorable. Members used considerable energy to squelch contradictory historiography and teach white children to honor Confederate heroes, and to be ardent believers in the Southern cause. Many monuments were placed where children would see them as they walked to school."
What do you think?

From my time in New England I learned you don't mess with the DAR ladies, guess same applies to UDC ladies.

This is an over the top article SGT (Join to see). I responded earlier, but my post didn't take.
This article title Roots of a Bitter Legacy gives an indication of the bias by the authors. It was probably written after the Charlottesville, VA violence earlier this year. The violent thugs Antifa have gone to ground after they initiated violent confrontations in several parts of this nation which is why they were labeled as domestic terrorists.
