Dixie's Daughters - 2nd Edition by Karen L Cox (Paperback)

The "Lost Cause" by Karen Cox is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the little-known history of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC).

This organization, founded in 1894, aimed to vindicate the Confederate generation and honor the Lost Cause.

Through extensive research and engaging storytelling, Cox reveals how UDC members wielded significant social and political influence throughout the South, preserving Confederate culture and promoting a mythical vision of the antebellum South.

The book includes a new preface addressing the recent riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, highlighting why these myths continue to endure today.

This thought-provoking and insightful work is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, Southern culture, or the ongoing struggle for racial justice.
