FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe Lost Cause narrative has long clouded our understanding of the American Civil War, but what if everything you thought you knew about this period was upside down especially if you grew up in the South and learned US Civil War history from its public schools? On the MOJO Minute episode, we challenge the deeply entrenched myths that have shaped perceptions of the conflict and the Confederacy's defeat. With insights from Edward H. Bonekemper III's pivotal work, "The Myth of the Lost Cause," we expose the truth behind misleading claims like the war being about states' rights and the Confederacy's loss being due to sheer numbers. Delve into how organizations like the United Daughters of the Confederacy played a role in perpetuating these myths, embedding them into the education system and influencing countless generations.Join us as we confront the romanticized notions that have skewed historical understanding and explore the damaging effects of the Lost Cause ideology, including the entrenchment of white supremacy and the distortion of slavery's harsh realities. We'll critique figures like Woodrow Wilson for their complicity in spreading these falsehoods and highlight the critical need for accurate historical education. By drawing on historical accounts and expert analysis, we aim to dismantle these destructive narratives and advocate for a truthful understanding of America's past, offering a fresh perspective on the progress towards equality and the rejection of flawed historical interpretations.Key Points from the Episode:• Examination of the origins and implications of the Lost Cause myth  • Discussion of the role played by the United Daughters of the Confederacy  • Analysis of the lasting impacts on education and public perception  • Reflection on the historical role of Woodrow Wilson in propagating the myth  • A call for truth and accurate representation of history in educationOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Ana Olinger-Torres, a member of Albert Sidney Johnston Chapter 2060 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, tells about her Tejano Confederate ancestry at the Nov. 10 dedication of a statue at the Ruiz-Herrera Cemetery in Von Ormy to honor Tejano Confederate soldiers. She discovered the name of one of her ancestors had been accidentally transcribed as “Jones,” due to the fanciful script in which the name “Torres” was rendered. The dedication of the eight-foot bronze statue was accompanied by several brief presentations and Civil War re-enactors firing a salute with period long arms and a cannon.Article Link

A crowd gathered at Decatur's historic square in Georgia on Saturday to witness the unveiling of a 12-foot-tall bronze statue of the late civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis, replacing a Confederate monument dismantled in 2020. The event, attended by neighbors, politicians, and civil rights leaders, saw applause as a black veil was lifted to reveal the statue, marking the same spot where a Confederate statue stood by United Daughters of the Confederacy since 1908. The Confederate monument was removed after years of activism and following national protests over police brutality and racial injustice, particularly after George Floyd's death. Lewis was a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement and a Georgia congressman. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Before he set his sights on Mount Rushmore, sculptor Gutzon Borglum had a vision for a massive monument to the Confederacy. He figured that Stone Mountain, located just outside of Atlanta, would be the perfect spot for his magnum opus. The United Daughters of the Confederacy agreed. So did their BFFs, the KKK. For years, the project seemed to be going well. It ended in disaster. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book, “The Carving of Mount Rushmore,” by Rex Alan Smith The documentary, “Mount Rushmore” “The Sordid History of Mount Rushmore,” by Matthew Shaer for Smithsonian Magazine “The Carving of Stone Mountain,” PBS.org “Biography: Gutzon Borglum,” PBS.org “Stone Mountain: A Monumental Dilemma” by Debra McKinney for the SPLC “The heartbreaking, controversial history of Mount Rushmore,” by Amy McKeever for National Geographic The documentary, “Monument: The Untold Story of Stone Mountain,” from the Atlanta History Center Are you enjoying An Old Timey Podcast?

He vetoed a bill that would have allowed slot machine style games at convenience stores and truck stops.  He also vetoed two bills that were opposed by Confederate groups: one would have eliminated tax breaks for the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and the other that would have eliminated two state-issued license plates, one celebrating Robert E. Lee and another celebrating the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Some predatory lenders advance cash to grieving relatives about to gain an inheritence while trying to claim the money isn't a loan--but a new bill signed by the Governor would help fight those practices.Did Sam Altman steal the voice of Scarlett Johansson?

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Karen Cox, Professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She is the author of multiple books, including "Dixie's Daughters: The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Preservation of Confederate Culture" and "Dreaming of Dixie: How the South Was Created in American Popular Culture." Her current book project explores the Rhythm Club fire, which took the lives of more than 200 African Americans in Natchez, Mississippi, in 1940. Dr. Cox's work has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, TIME magazine, Publishers Weekly, Smithsonian Magazine, and the Huffington Post. We speak with her about the United Daughters of the Confederacy, monuments, and her latest project on the Rhythm Club fire.

Finally this Thursday, we hear once again from Dawn Diehl and Teresa Roane of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.  On the eve of the date when Governor Youngkin has to decide the fate of the UDC's nonprofit/tax-exempt status in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Dawn and Teresa discuss their plea, and plight, on air with John.

“[W]hat is our relationship to the Korean War and to the affinities” of different institutions that produce knowledge about the Korean War? (130) In her book, Warring Genealogies: Race, Kinship, and the Korean War (Temple UP, 2022), Joo Ok Kim “conceptualizes racialized formations of kinship emerging from the Korean War as a problem of knowledge” (4). Through a close reading of Chicanx and Asian American cultural productions as well as archives produced by white penitentiary prisoners and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Joo Ok considers how Chicanx and Korean diasporic works critique white supremacist expressions of kinship that emerge from the official memorialization about the war. Further critiquing the division in disciplines and periodization in academia that forecloses discussions about colonialism spanning multiple geographic locations and temporalities, Joo Ok examines how queer hermeneutic helps us to reconsider “minor” and humble instances of kinships between Asian-Latino cultural productions. This book will be a wonderful addition to any interdisciplinary scholarship that critically thinks about US militarism, knowledge production, and the Korean War, as well as anyone who is interested in learning more about the Korean War.  Joo Ok Kim is an assistant professor of cultural studies at UCSD, and her research and teaching interests include transpacific critique, literatures and cultures of the Korean War, and United States multiethnic literature and culture. Her selected publications include Warring Genealogies: Race, Kinship, and the Korean War (Temple University Press, 2022), which is part of Critical Race, Indigeneity, and Relationality Series, and contributions to “Keywords for Comics Studies” (2021), a special issue of Verge: Studies in Global Asias, and a special issue of MELUS: Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States (2020).

Massive Resistance and Southern Womanhood: White Women, Class, and Segregation (U Georgia Press, 2021) offers a comparative sociocultural and spatial history of white supremacist women involved in massive resistance. The book focuses on segregationist grassroots activism in Little Rock, Arkansas, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Charleston, South Carolina from the late 1940s to the late 1960s. Dr. Rebecca Brückmann combines theory and detailed case studies to interrogate the “roles, actions, self-understandings, and media representations” of these segregationist women. Dr. Brückmann argues that these women – motivated by an everyday culture of white supremacy – created performative spaces for their segregationist agitation in the public sphere to legitimize their actions. Unlike other studies of mass resistance that have focused on maternalism, Dr. Brückmann argues that women's invocation of motherhood was varied and primarily served as a tactical tool to continuously expand these women's spaces. Her book carefully differentiates the circumstances, tactics, and representations used in the creation of performative spaces by working-class, middle-class, and elite women engaged in massive resistance. Brückmann contrasts the transgressive “street politics” of working-class female activists in Little Rock and New Orleans with the more traditional political actions of segregationist, middle-class, and elite women in Charleston. While these women aligned white supremacist agitation with long-standing experience in conservative women's clubs (e.g., United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Daughters of the American Revolution), working-class women's groups (who lacked the economic, cultural, and social capital) chose consciously transgressive strategies, including violence, to elicit shock value and create states of emergency to further legitimize their actions and push for white supremacy. Dr. Brückmann's nuanced work of history uses scholarship from sociology, political science, law, and other relevant disciplines to demonstrate how “interactions between class and status concerns, race, space, and gender shaped these women's views and actions.” Dr. Rebecca Brückmann is an Associate Professor of History at Carleton College. Her research and teachings interrogate African American history, the transnational history of the Black Diaspora, Southern US history, White Supremacy, and gender. Daniela Lavergne assisted with this podcast. Susan Liebell is Dirk Warren '50 Professor of Political Science at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. Learn more about your ad choices.

Massive Resistance and Southern Womanhood: White Women, Class, and Segregation (U Georgia Press, 2021) offers a comparative sociocultural and spatial history of white supremacist women involved in massive resistance. The book focuses on segregationist grassroots activism in Little Rock, Arkansas, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Charleston, South Carolina from the late 1940s to the late 1960s. Dr. Rebecca Brückmann combines theory and detailed case studies to interrogate the “roles, actions, self-understandings, and media representations” of these segregationist women. Dr. Brückmann argues that these women – motivated by an everyday culture of white supremacy – created performative spaces for their segregationist agitation in the public sphere to legitimize their actions. Unlike other studies of mass resistance that have focused on maternalism, Dr. Brückmann argues that women's invocation of motherhood was varied and primarily served as a tactical tool to continuously expand these women's spaces. Her book carefully differentiates the circumstances, tactics, and representations used in the creation of performative spaces by working-class, middle-class, and elite women engaged in massive resistance. Brückmann contrasts the transgressive “street politics” of working-class female activists in Little Rock and New Orleans with the more traditional political actions of segregationist, middle-class, and elite women in Charleston. While these women aligned white supremacist agitation with long-standing experience in conservative women's clubs (e.g., United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Daughters of the American Revolution), working-class women's groups (who lacked the economic, cultural, and social capital) chose consciously transgressive strategies, including violence, to elicit shock value and create states of emergency to further legitimize their actions and push for white supremacy.

After this week's CrazyPLN Twitter Chat, led by the incredibly knowledgeable “Constitution Lady”, Linda R. Monk J.D., I began to look more closely at the verbiage in various state censorship and "anti-woke" laws and book bans. While researching the often vaguely worded laws, it occurred to me that the general consensus is that there is an attack on the way things have always been, based on a systematic point of view that grants "history" and "the way things have been" a pass on the kinds of scrutiny that books and courses adding diverse voices to our narratives are under today. That pass has been given to a national narrative that deserves scrutiny. A good place to start would be the Lost Cause and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. These decedents of Confederate soldiers and officers wanted to build a narrative that cast their loved ones in a positive light. Understandable, as many agree that it's not proper to "speak ill of the dead". However, sometimes truth has to come out to validate the narratives of those harmed. I was taught in elementary school that Slaves were happy and that they found Christianity because of their benevolent masters. I don't know any girl of 9 or 10, or any woman of any age who would happily be raped by and bear children for a man not of her own choosing, with no right of refusal. As a lighter skinned Black woman, this historical trauma is in my genes. And while I do not see myself as a victim, I do have a right to have my truth, the truth of my ancestors, told. When those indoctrinated by the national narrative shaped by the desire to elevate a myth above truth, it is indoctrination. When laws seek to silence that truth, it is a harmful and cancerous core that will haunt us all until we finally deal with it openly, transparently. This week, after you've listened, delve into the resources below. They present a picture of yesteryear's indoctrination and today's so-called indoctrination. I hope, even if you are skeptical, that this knowledge will help you see that indoctrination is in the eye of the beholder and that every American story deserves to be told as a part of our national narrative.

With more than 15 years in the entertainment and radio business, Buford T. “Big Hoss” hosts the live radio podcast “Buford T. America Bluegrass and Country Show” Saturdays at 7 p.m. Eastern at the website The Bluegrass Jamboree. Buford T. also believes in preserving heritage and advocating for the real history of the “War for Southern Independence.” Ellen McWhorter is a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and serves on the North Carolina Sons of Confederate Veterans Memorials Fund committee. She's a member of the Madison County Election Board in Kentucky and has served on various political and civic boards and committees. Together, Buford and Ellen are the hosts of the new podcast “The Road to Dixie” where they team up to bring listeners an informative and entertaining take on the South's history, culture, politics, and people. In my first-ever interview with two guests, the three of us Southern partisans have a grand ol' time. One thing's for sure: Buford and Ellen ain't skeered! Be sure to check out The Road to Dixie and Buford's Bluegrass and Country Show, also available on SoundCloud, especially Buford's episode from January 29, in which he gives a sweet shoutout to the Dissident Mama podcast! Note: Buford accepted my off-air invitation to return to my podcast some time in 2022. We plan on discussing his passion for classic country and bluegrass, which is something he happens to share with your humble host. We'll talk all things roots music and see if we can't find out a bit more about what makes Buford tick. Ellen also agreed to write a guest post for my blog. The topic? Her pivotal trip to Scotland where she experienced peak anti-Southern hostility. Being that so many Dixians are descended from Scottish ancestors and that Scotland has many times throughout history sought independence from the United Kingdom (and came darn close to seceding just 10 years ago), you'd think they'd have a clue. But apparently not. So keep an eye out for that sure-to-be thought-provoking essay by Ellen, a true Southern lady, as well as my forthcoming fun-loving conversation with the fine gentleman known as Big Hoss.

Original Air Date 12/09/2020 Today we take a look in real-time at the construction of the world's newest Lost Cause narrative, the failed re-election of Donald Trump. This is not our country's first experience with Lost Causes and it's not, contrary to popular opinion, even our second connection to a Lost Cause narrative because we didn't invent the first one, we borrowed it from somewhere else and I will tell that story today.

Taking the Right's obsession with Critical Race Theory as a starting point, I look at the history of reactionary protest to progressive curriculum as indoctrination, along the way discussing National History Standards, the Kanawha County Textbook War, opposition to supposedly communistic curriculum by the HUAC and the American Legion, and lastly, the United Daughters of the Confederacy's efforts to indoctrinate Southern youth with the Myth of the Lost Cause.  Pledge support on Patreon for ad-free episodes and exclusive content!

The Lost Cause narrative would have us believe that Confederate monuments have always been celebrated, but people have protested them since they started going up. Historian Karen Cox unpacks how the United Daughters of the Confederacy used propaganda to dominate generations of teachings about the Civil War through textbooks, legislation, and popular culture—and how, after the war, the South and the North prized white reconciliation over justice for all.

Data from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) has found that white Christians—including mainline Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals—are the most racist religious group in America, Robert P. Jones, the CEO of PRRI, says this isn't a bug within white American Christianity, but a feature. He discusses his new book “White Too Long” about the lingering legacy of white supremacy in the church. Also this week, apologist Josh McDowell joins those saying CRT is the greatest threat facing the church, but does his argument contradict itself? Why is belief in miracles going up if overall belief in religion is going down? Phil says we shouldn't worry about scientists trying to resurrect woolly mammoths. Christian explains why she's in the Netherlands. And police in the UK issue a warning about kids buying beans. News Segment Where in the world is Christian?

Emma hosts Karen L. Cox, Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, to discuss her recent book No Common Ground: Confederate Monuments and the Ongoing Fight for Racial Justice, on the history and reckoning over confederate monuments in the US. Professor Cox brings us back to the 1890s as the end of reconstruction and the southern occupation are marked by a massive uptick in the construction of these symbols of white supremacy alongside increased racial violence, lynchings, and attempts to legalize segregation and disenfranchisement. She and Emma then dive into the “lost cause” ideology that drove this re-development, looking at how journalists like Edward Pollard and groups such as the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the KKK established a massively ahistorical disinformation campaign throughout the south, with confederate monuments playing a central role in a literal sense, as they became the focal point of community social life, being erected in town squares and at courthouses. Karen and Emma then progress into the 20th century, looking at how the 1915 Birth of a Nation continued this reignition of racial violence and the role class played in the issue, before they dive into the next wave of monument erections in the 50s and 60s, discussing the murder of Sammy Younge in Tuskegee, Alabama and the changes in white supremacist rhetoric. They round out the interview with the final wave of monuments in the 2000s following a decade of legalized disenfranchisement with gerrymandering, looking at how the symbols of the “lost cause” have slowly been disconnected from actual southern heritage as well as how and why the recent reckoning over the issue has become central to American racial discourse. Emma wraps it up with the infrastructure developments and is reminded by Lindsey Graham and Kayleigh McEnany how calm cool and collected Trump's four years were in comparison to Biden's first. And in the Fun Half: Dennis Prager reminds us that we can't trust our doctors, since it was really our hearts and souls that went through four years of medical school, and Dimmy Jore gives us the ivermectin pitch straight from the horses' ass as he incorporates it into his M4A blame game, and the MR crew, alongside Danny from ATL, discuss what to do with the US military complex, and why anti-war stances are continuously demeaned by the mainstream media. Dave in Minneapolis informs us on the upcoming St. Paul Line 3 protest, Tony Blair gives us his phony flair, and Kerry from Columbus talks OH senate election.

Andersonville stands out in American history as the worst example of how to treat POWs.

When the South lost the Civil War, all the white women decided to give up on riding the wave of white privilege and jump on board with reconstruction and restitution, forever ending racial discrimin.....oh who the hell am I kidding! Of course they didn't! Along came the Daughter's of the Confederacy! Defenders of the "lost cause", memory keepers for confederate traitors...I mean, "true patriots", and erectors of statues, -- totally meant to honor their ancestors and not in any way intimidate formerly enslaved people or change the memory of a nation. *eye roll* Guess what? The United Daughters of the Confederacy still has close to 20,000 members today! That's a lot of dirty laundry ladies. Many thanks to Karen L. Cox's fantastic book Dixie's Daughters: The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Preservation of Confederate Culture. 

08JUL21: “I'M NOT GONNA TRY IT—YOU TRY IT!" President Biden missed his Independence Day target of getting first shots into the arms of 70 percent of American adults. If he wants to convince the vaccine-hesitant to get immunized — especially vaccine-hesitant Republicans — there is a simple way to do so: Give Donald Trump the credit he deserves for the vaccines. THAT'S THE MILKMAN'S KID! While every statue in every town has a different origin, taken together, the roughly 700 Confederate monuments in the United States tell a national story. Many of these commemorations of those on the losing side of the Civil War are a lot newer than one might think. The United Daughters of the Confederacy, founded in the 1890s, was probably the most important and influential group in this effort. IF YOU BUILD IT… THEY WILL COME. South Florida officials on Wednesday called off the search for survivors of a June condominium tower collapse, saying there was no longer any hope of pulling someone alive from the ruins of the flattened building. Crews who have extracted the remains of 54 people from the mostly concrete and steel rubble of the Champlain Towers South during round-the-clock searches will transition to a recovery operation as of midnight eastern daylight time.

Part II picks up where we leave off at the end of Part I; discussing the roots of the ahistorical connection so many white Southerners make in believing that the (Catholic NOT Protestant) Scottish Highlanders, who were defeated at Culloden in 1745, were somehow the antecedent of antebellum proto-Confederate culture & society.https://youtu.be/pV4NmstF0CICredit (above link): Trailer of Al Davis & Pete Rozelle ESPN 30 for 30 film (2021).John recounts his memories of the December 23rd, 1972 AFC Divisional Round playoff game between the Oakland Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers from Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh; this is the game either famously or infamously -depending on your allegiance- known as "the Immaculate Reception."

She describes how Terrell, a civil rights activist and suffragist, organized opposition and successfully prevented this "Lost Cause" statue from being built.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Identity, Community,

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Nate Wallace, co-host of Red Spin Sports podcast for another edition of our weekly segment “The Red Spin Report.” They discuss efforts to remove the name of Confederate general Robert E. Lee from Washington-Lee University in Virginia and Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Florida, as well as the intellectual bankruptcy of the “Lost Cause” narrative advanced by new-confederate factions.Nate coached high school football for the now (since desegregation & white flight) nearly all black Lee Generals (Jacksonville, Fla.) varsity football team in 2009 & 2010, and he connects how that experience -and the role team sports play more broadly in identity formation for players and alums- affects and complicates the issues of school names & mascots. As always, the social and political contradictions that exist as a natural byproduct of living under a fundamentally exploitative economic system that continues to fuel augmenting income & wealth inequality, are unpacked and explored within the context of the still ongoing battles over appropriately characterizing the Confederate government for what it was -and the logic of its reactionary ideology still is, a criminal enterprise built on naked economic exploitation, an unparalleled system of human trafficking, & the violently enforced bondage of the most basic human rights of enslaved African peoples. The enduring mythos of "The Lost Cause" is a testament to the power of white supremacy in these United States. Why? If not for the -racist decision- to abandon the promises made to emancipated peoples in the form of ending federal military reconstruction in 1877 (a decision long in the making by the time it became official), the militarily, but not necessarily ideologically, vanquished "redeemers of the South" never could have returned to power to institute a Jim Crow system of racialized terror in the 1880's and 1890's. Furthermore, "Lost Cause" propagandists such as the United Daughters of the Confederacy would not have had the political power to advance their ahistorical narratives into K-12 school curriculums across the states of the former Confederacy and beyond; it is precisely because of the UDC's ideological victory in being able to craft racist and classist narratives about the Civil War and what it was truly fought over (i.e. SLAVERY and the "rights" of slavers to expand their "peculiar institution" into the westward and rapidly expanding settler colonial geography of the mid 19th century United States).So the reality is as William Faulkner so accurately put it: "the past is not dead, in fact, it's not even past." Those words couldn't have been more true on Thursday, March 25th, in both the auditorium and overflow crowd in the adjacent library of Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Fla. Checkout the 90 seconds (I -Nate- could have managed better but was caught off guard after waiting nearly 4 hours to speak) I had to speak on this issue in the tweet below. Despite the self-criticism, it still gets at the core issue: the continued power of the fallacious "Lost Cause" narrative which tries to explain away why the "morally superior" Confederacy was vanquished on the battlefield. Those who ascribe to "Lost Cause" history are invariably delusional, masters of white "grievance politics," acting as if they are somehow "the victims" while ignoring and having contempt for all who dare point out the ahistorical contradictions their arguments rest upon. https://twitter.com/NateWallace9/status/1378023534048514054?s=20Recorded and aired on Friday, March 26th, 2021 in Washington, DC.If you enjoy Redspin Sports, please consider supporting our work on Patreon so we can produce more of it.

Closing out February with a dedication to Black History Month. In this episode we cover the history of how the celebration was created and the injustices that lead to black history being erased from many history schools. How did a group of women with ties to the confederacy and the KKK gain control of what history lessons were taught in schools in southern states? The impact of this false version of history is still felt in today's society. But we must confront the past and learn the real history, the good, the bad, and the injustices so we can move forward towards a more unified society. This is the story of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Air Date 12/9/2020 Today we take a look in real-time at the construction of the world's newest Lost Cause narrative, the failed re-election of Donald Trump. This is not our country's first experience with Lost Causes and it's not, contrary to popular opinion, even our second connection to a Lost Cause narrative because we didn't invent the first one, we borrowed it from somewhere else and I will tell that story today.

James Ronald Kennedy was born and raised in Mississippi. He received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Louisiana, Monroe, and a Master's degree in Health Administration from Tulane University, New Orleans, and a Master's of Jurisprudence in Health Law from Loyola University, Chicago. Ron, along with his brother Walter Donald Kennedy, are the Kennedy Twins and are best known for their bestselling book “The South Was Right!,” which has sold more 180,000 copies and its “new edition for the 21st century” was just released by Shotwell Publishing. The Kennedy Twins have written 16 other books, including “Punished With Poverty: The Suffering South,” “Dixie Rising: Rules for Rebels,” “Yankee Empire: Aggressive Abroad and Despotic at Home,” and “When Rebel Was Cool.” Ron and his brother Donnie have been interviewed by numerous local and national talk radio shows such as Col. Oliver North's radio show, Alan Colmes' radio show, Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect, the BBC, French National TV, Louisiana Public Broadcasting TV and Mississippi Public Broadcasting radio and TV. Both have served as Commander of the Louisiana Division Sons of Confederate Veterans and have received special recognition awards from the National Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, as well as other Southern heritage organizations. Ron and I discuss how he got involved in the Southern-without-apology movement, as well as how the Southern states went from self-determination, prosperity, and health, to an underling region of “bayonet governments,” to now a land of “stateless people.” It's not all doom and gloom, though, folks, for this son of Dixie has big ideas about how to organize effectively and resist nonviolently big government at the local, state, and federal levels. Let's just say that his strategies, if implemented, could “hang [the oligarchs] on the horns of a dilemma.” Sounds good to me.

An episode over two years in the making! Join Dan and our guest John Hagan, a local social studies teacher, as we analyze our local racist monuments. Yes, Bay Ridge is host to multiple Confederate monuments. How did they get here? Why are they still up? And why should we tear them down? Find out! We'll expose a never-before-discovered history involving the United Daughters of the Confederacy, greedy Rectors, and a  Lost Cause mythology. Along the way we'll talk about cool Union Generals, Thurgood Marshall's connection to Bay Ridge, and why Robert E Lee disliked living in Brooklyn. As we go, John will connect our local happenings to a broader context of Reconstruction, resurgent racism, and Jim Crow. By the end of the show, you'll be equipped to tear apart any argument for keeping these racist monuments standing! ---- Check out the show notes for background info and bonus materialBe sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for more news and analysis!  

On today's show, we head to Rogers where a Black Lives Matter organizer is campaigning to unseat a long-time City Council member. Plus, we have a discussion of the latest unemployment numbers in this week's edition of the Northwest Arkansas Business Journal Report. And, we hear from two University of Arkansas students who are researching how the legacies of two local United Daughters of the Confederacy chapters have impacted the region.

Two students at the University of Arkansas, one an undergrad and the other a doctoral candidate, are working on theses that explore the legacies of the Bentonville and Fayetteville chapters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the region.

On today's show, we have the latest roundup of news from the River Valley with Michael Tilley of Talk Business and Politics. Plus, we find out how a regional education cooperative is helping public schools manage operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. And, we take a look at where discussions stand between the City of Fort Smith and the Arkansas Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy concerning a Confederate monument on the grounds of the Sebastian County courthouse.

Fort Smith and Sebastian County government leaders have entered into discussions with the Arkansas Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy regarding to the future of a Confederate monument that stands on the grounds of the county courthouse. The conversations started after the UDC announced it would be moving another Confederate monument that had stood on the Bentonville downtown square.

Who are the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and why do they matter? Well, on this week's episode of Difficult Women, Katy and Marie dive into the history of the UDC. They discover that this dubious group of women are primarily responsible for things like all our Confederate statues, misinformed history books and fights with our southern friends over whether the Civil War was about slavery or states’ rights. Listen up for all the fascinating details. Email Katy and Marie questions, suggestions, and/or stories to difficultwomenpodcast@gmail.com Follow @reformedwhores on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook and visit their website for upcoming shows at www.reformedwhores.com. Promo Code Alert: Check out https://www.adameve.com and use promo code WHOREO for 50% off any one item!

This week, the Arkansas Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Benton County Historical Society unveiled their plans for James H. Berry Park, which will be home to the Confederate monument that stood on the Bentonville square since 1908. The monument was removed earlier this month. It will be restored and eventually will be the centerpiece of the privately-owned park that will be open to the public.

In our first episode of Season 3 we drink a southern classic and favorite of Huey P. Long (see episode 11 & 12), the Ramos Gin Fizz.  https://www.beyondreproachpod.com/the-cocktails This frothy vintage cocktail created in 1888 used to require twelve minutes of shaking to create its iconic foam top. We learn about the history of this labor-intensive but delicious cream-based concoction and how it relates to Tux’s scandal.  ALSO DISCUSSED: Blanche Devereaux, Golden Palace, Howard Zinn, laughing oneself into a sweat, making Orwell fiction again, sturdy well-endowed white men, Peculiar Picture Show, eyeholes, Petty Pendergrass, and Indian “promenades.”  TUX’s dives deep into the Daughters of the Confederacy, the construction of confederate monuments, and the mythology of the Lost Cause. We toast to symbols of hate and oppression and the white women who love them. STEPHANIE shines a light on the century-long fight over Mount Rushmore, America’s highly problematic national landmark that never should have been built. We raise a glass to struggle, what the aim of the struggle depends on who you ask. For source information on each scandal and to peruse our online shop: SITE

Host: Diane Gil Co-Host: KeKey Huessein Episode Introduction:  In this episode of the Now What Podcast, Diane is joined by your favorite co-host KeKey Moore to discuss the removal of confederate statues and symbols across America. Episode Summary:  The discussion revolves around the ongoing demands for the removal of confederate statues and symbols across the United States. Several historical facts are discussed and the conversation also connects listeners with another example of how the current education system is failing the youth of all races on the true history of America. Notable Facts & Statistics:  According to a poll conducted by the Pew research group:  48% of Americans believe that the Civil War was for the State’s rights.  38% of Americans know that Slavery was the cause.  9% of Americans believe that both of: the State’s rights as well as Slavery were the cause for Civil War. American education doesn’t give the full story on the origins of the Civil War. KeyKey shares evidence that slavery was the cause of the American Civil War:  All 11 states issued Articles of Successions. The articles states the continuation of slavery was the reason for Civil War and these were written by confederate leaders of that time. Statues, monuments and flags from that period represent white supremacy. The confederate flag was adapted as the state flag. United Daughters of the Confederacy are responsible for the majority of these monuments being erected. Demand for removal of Confederate statues & symbols initiated from the country’s military.  Sources: Pew Research Center Fact Tank - What caused the Civil WarUnited Daughters of the Confederacy Declaration of Causes: February 2, 1861 - A declaration of the causes which impel the State of Texas to secede from the Federal Union.

In June 2020, the city of Wilmington removed two downtown statues to the Confederacy that had been publicly displayed for a century or more. One was a memorial to those soldiers from New Hanover County who fought for the South, the other was a statue to Confederate Attorney General George Davis. But what does the larger community know about the stories behind these monuments, the people they honor and the people who put them there? This week’s episode of the Cape Fear Unearthed local history podcast attempts to shed some light on those questions by looking at the controversial life of Davis, whose accolades made the inscription of his monument but not his public support of slavery. It also examines the story of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which sought to help the widows of fallen Southern soldiers before transitioning into more questionable influences on public education and historical record. Cape Fear Unearthed is written, edited and hosted by Hunter Ingram. Additional editing by Adam Fish.

In a time where racial tensions are at a high, and civil unrest as a reaction to the murder of George Floyd stings the nation as an open wound, a return to our racial climax following the American Civil War and promotion of peace, unity, healing, and understanding is more than called for.  Join Nick this week, and his guest Mrs. Georgia Wright-Benton, an African American member of the United Daughters of The Confederacy, as they explore race relations, the Civil Rights Movement, and healing. Mrs. Wright-Benton will detail the service of her Great Grandfather, a Black Confederate Soldier who is one of the only documented men of color in either Army to serve in both theaters of the war and three branches of service. Additionally, she will contextualize the Black Lives Matter movement and define what we- as a nation- need to do to overcome the evils of racism, bigotry, and discrimination.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 75 °F already! Expect highs today in the 90s and Feels Likes near 100 °F. I think, if you can, stay inside until things cool off later this week.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 487 new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 19 new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 110 new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 76, Henrico: 18, and Richmond: 16). Since this pandemic began, 198 people have died in the Richmond region. The number of reported new cases of the virus in Virginia are down, the number of deaths are down, and, slightly concerning, the number of reported testing encounters are down as well. As per always, I am not an epidemiologist, so I have no idea what the data portends, but I do know Virginia is still not meeting its goal of 10,000 tests per day (regardless of how you define “tests”). The seven-day average of new tests sits at around 8,600. I know percent positivity governs how we practically move back into the world, but, like, we still need to test a lot more folks, right? While we are in the “anyone who wants a test can get a test” phase, maybe the non-coronavirus related events of the last two weeks have prevented people from getting a test? Or at least knocked it down a few spots on their todo lists? I have no idea but will continue to update my sisyphean spreadsheet each day.On Friday, Richmond joins the rest of the Commonwealth and moves into the Governor’s Phase 2 of recovery. You can find all of the details of what that means for various industries and businesses over on the RVA Strong website. The short of it: Restaurants, breweries, gyms, salons, barbers, pools, and places of worship can all reopen with a bunch of restrictions—mostly limiting indoor occupancy to 50% capacity or less. Let the hangouts commence, I guess! Wash your hands, wear your masks, and keep two yard sticks between you and the person next to you. I’m incredibly interested in which businesses decide to open up, how it all works out, and what we’ll learn about how to function as City moving forward. I bet we’ll figure a bunch out in the next couple of weeks, and I’m perfectly happy to sit at home during that process.Yesterday, the Governor announced his phased reopening guidelines for schools which you can read here (PDF) or, not for the faint-of-heart, attempt to flip through the very intense Virginia Department of Education version here (PDF). Lately, I’m in a continual state of confusion about most things, so I’m thankful for Superintendent Kamras for explaining how these phases relate to the Governor’s other phases: “As you read through the reopening guidance, please note that the school reopening phases align to the business reopening phases. So when the City of Richmond moves into Phase II for restaurants and such, it will also move into Phase II for schools. Additionally, it’s important to note that the guidance lays out what is allowed under each phase, not what is required. That means we have some discretion in determining the pace of our reopening.” Phase Two for schools means summer camps, “limited in-person instruction to preschool through third grade and English Learner students,” socially-distanced extracurricular activities, and no-contact sports. Phase Three, which, I assume is the goal before the the school year starts in the fall, allows in-person instruction to all students but with a bunch of physical distancing measures. School will look different this coming year and us olds will be amazed at how quickly the kids get used to it.A quick Henrico police reform update: John Reid Blackwell, at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, says that Supervisor Nelson wants to create a community review board and wants the Board of Supervisors to discuss it by July. If you’re a Henrico resident, and you want to see meaningful police reform, now is the time to get involved!Last night protestors pulled down the Christopher Columbus statue in Byrd Park and dumped it in the paddle boat lake. These videos from @GoadGatsby, who seems to be everywhere at all times, made me feel feelings. After the statue found its new watery grave, an artist projected “THIS IS POWHATAN LAND” and “BLM” on the remaining plinth and surrounding wall." From /r/rva, check out this morning’s beautiful sunrise over the lake. Productive night for anti-racism in Richmond!Brad Kutner, from Courthouse News, says the deadline for submitting your paperwork to get on the ballot for City Council or School Board in Richmond, which was last night, has now been extended. Now folks have until June 23rd and only need 50 signatures from their Districts. This is something that Richmond For All sued to get changed and means the bar for someone getting on the ballot in Richmond is now incredibly low—especially as the City moves into Phase Two of recovery. 50 is very few people! You probably know 50 people within a five minute walk of wherever you’re sitting right now! Have you ever thought about running for Council or School Board? There has literally never been an easier time to see your name on the ballot. Of course, getting your name on the ballot is like the first, teeniest step in winning an election—but, you can’t win if you don’t play!I’m so stoked on Bike Walk RVA’s newest event, All Streets RVA, which aims to inventory all 1,900 miles of streets in Richmond. They’ve combined biking/walking/rolling, exploring the City, data collection, and mapping into the absolute perfect quarantine event for me, specifically. Here’s how it works: You go out into the world, observe the quality of the streets, sidewalks, and infrastructure around you, and then fill out a survey. That info then finds its way on to this map, and we end up with a great community-built resource for demanding better streets from our city leaders. It’s a great idea, and you should sign up and start mapping today.Superintendent Kamras reports another RPS COVID-19 case, this one at G. H. Reid Elementary on June 4th. You know the drill: If you happened by Reid you need to self-isolate for 14 days and call up the Richmond City Health District to get yourself tested (804.205.3501).The Richmond 300 summits continue with the Thriving Environment summit tonight at 6:00 PM. It’s free, but make sure you register on the Eventbrite. Also make sure you take the time to read Chapter 6 of the Richmond 300 draft plan (PDF) so you can come prepared with all of your smart thoughts.This morning’s patron longread7 things the United Daughters of the Confederacy might not want you to know about themSubmitted by Patron Kathleen. From a couple years ago, this piece in Salon will give you the necessary context for the work the United Daughters of the Confederacy has done across the country to spread the Lost Cause narrative.It’s helpful, in the midst of any conversation about this country’s Confederate monuments, to understand who put these things up, which also offers a clue as to why. In large part, the answer to the first question is the United Daughters of the Confederacy, a white Southern women’s “heritage” group founded in 1894. Starting 30 years after the Civil War, as historian Karen Cox notes in her 2003 book “Dixie’s Daughters,” “UDC members aspired to transform military defeat into a political and cultural victory, where states’ rights and white supremacy remained intact.” In other words, when the Civil War gave them lemons, the UDC made lemonade. Horribly bitter, super racist lemonade.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

This week we discuss the ridiculous organization known as the United Daughters of the Confederacy, A1 Steak Sauce, Truly vs. White Claw, and fail miserably at finding much joy. Be safe out there.

"M" is for Market Hall. Completed in 1841, Market Hall was one of several monumental buildings that arose along Meeting Street in Charleston during the 1830s and 1840s. Located at 188 Meeting Street, Market Hall occupies a narrow lot between North and South Market Streets that has been used as the public market since the late 18 th century. Built of brick covered with brown stucco, the two-story building is set on a rusticated base. A double flight of steps leads to a portico supported by Doric columns. Behind the building, sheds stretch toward the river, which originally provided space for food stalls. In the early 20 th century the United Daughters of the Confederacy used it for their Confederate Museum. Damaged by Hurricane Hugo, Market Hall underwent a multi-million dollar restoration that was completed in 2002.

Catherine A. Stewart is the author of Long Past Slavery: Representing Race in the Federal Writers' Project, published by the University of North Carolina Press in 2016. Long Past Slavery examines the history behind the collection of more than 2,300 narratives from formerly enslaved people, as part of the New Deal's Federal Writers' Project. Stewart pays close attention to how the ex-slave narratives represented a site of contestation between many people who had competing visions of what America's past looked like, and what the future could hold. From Black interviewers to members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy to the formerly enslaved themselves, Stewart illustrates how these narratives were a battleground over national memory, Black identity, and Black citizenship. Catherine A. Stewart is Professor of History at Cornell College. Derek Litvak is a Ph.D. student in the department of history at the University of Maryland.

Listen to Trey Ware on demand. Topics include Rep Larson sends a letter to Nirenberg, senate impeachment hearing starts next Tuesday, and we speak to two members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy who tell us that the Confederate statue removed from Travis Park is in city storage and has been damaged.

What was the meaning of the American Civil War? And why are we still arguing over this some 150 years later? In this, the first of our 3-part series on Silent Sam, we explore the purpose of confederate monuments and their impact on the African American community in Chapel Hill. From the work of United Daughters of the Confederacy in the early 1900s to spread their version of history throughout the south, to the first stirrings of the Black Power Movement at the end of the 1960s, we will hear how the white south's lost cause mythology affected the lives of black people, and how young Chapel Hillians began to push back on that narrative. We introduce one of our associate producers in this episode, Klaus Mayr. Klaus spent countless hours researching histories, collecting audio, and assisting in editing all three parts of our Silent Sam series. This episode was written and produced by Klaus Mayr, Molly Luby, and Danita Mason-Hogans. Editing by Klaus and Molly. Mixing by Ryan Chamberlain. With thanks to Aaron Keane for audio recording, technical assitance, and production coaching. Season one of Re/Collecting Chapel Hill was supported by grant funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the federal Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Grab a drink and throw it down your sauce box. We tackle the controversial confederate monuments and tear them down with cold hard facts. We also touch on everything from racist jerks, the civil war and its history, Stone Mountain and the United Daughters of the Confederacy to name a few.  We also go head to head with a kick ass game, take some shots with us and see how many old timey sayings you can guess! Get some insight about us when we open up with some guilty pleasures. Cheers bitches!

Dr. Rick Swanson is chair of the UL Lafayette Political Science Department. He was in the audience for the February 2016 LCG Council meeting when an hours-long public comment session regarding the Afred Mouton that sits in the point of a plaza in front of Lafayette’s International Center.Swanson was struck by the inaccurate statements made by some defenders of the statue (Mouton was a West Point trained, slave-holding native of Opelousas whose father founded what became Lafayette) made to the council and the public regarding the origins of the Civil War and the nature of relations between blacks and whites in the area.That launched a still-ongoing research project that sent Swanson scouring the records of the Library of Congress, the Center for Louisiana Studies, and public archives seeking to document the true history of the war and the true nature of the relationship between blacks and whites here.It’s an ugly tale that the Mouton statue, erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1922, both symbolizes and distorts. The statue was one of hundreds the UDC erected across the country after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized segregation in its 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision.As anyone who reads history knows, separate was never equal. It took 58 years before the Supreme Court reversed Plesssy with its Brown v. Board of Education decision outlawing segregation in 1954. The Civil Rights movement was the culmination of a decades long struggle to reverse the practices and local laws that flowed from Plessy.Swanson says the Mouton statues and its cousins across the country were always symbols of white supremacy, erected to celebrate the Lost Cause and to reaffirm what whites then believed to be the natural order of the world with them on top and blacks relegated to second-class citizenship.Recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia, have driven home for many the connection between these statues and white supremacies and ne0-Nazis, leading some communities to speed the removal of confederate monuments from public spaces.Swanson is continuing to update his work and hopes to muster a book out of it as his schedule permits. We discuss the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow in Louisiana and what all those statues symbolized — then, and now!

What did those Duke boys get up to again? Well I dunno, but I do know that we are back with a delightful serving of shmistory. The Confederacy was hella lame (an understatement), but they did a pretty good job with PR after they lost. Thank the United Daughters of the Confederacy! They want you to know that the south was a happy place where nobody liked slavery but where it did exist it was happy and did we mention that most of the people didn't have slaves and were really just fighting to protect their homes from Northern Aggression? Also, they make quilts! And statues, they loved statues and racism. The two things this podcast is about. So enjoy! Also , we got a facebook!

On June 26, 2014, Heath Hardage Lee delivered a Banner Lecture entitled "Winnie Davis: Daughter of the Lost Cause." Varina Anne “Winnie” Davis was the youngest daughter of Confederate president Jefferson Davis and his second wife, Varina Howell Davis. Winnie's birth in June 1864 was hailed as a blessing by war-weary southerners. Her arrival seemed a good omen that might signify future victory. After the war, Winnie, who spent her early life as a genteel refugee and a European expatriate, was christened the “Daughter of the Confederacy” in 1886. This role was bestowed upon her by a southern society trying to come to terms with defeat. Particularly idolized by such organizations as the United Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Winnie became an icon of the Lost Cause, eclipsing even her father in popularity. Her controversial engagement in 1890 to a northern lawyer, whose grandfather was a famous abolitionist, shocked her friends, family, and the southern groups that idolized her. She later moved to New York City, where she became a writer for family friend and newspaper baron Joseph Pulitzer at The World. Despite her blooming literary career, the young woman was unable to escape the looming legacy of the Lost Cause.

On June 26, Heath Hardage Lee delivered a Banner Lecture entitled "Winnie Davis: Daughter of the Lost Cause." Varina Anne “Winnie” Davis was the youngest daughter of Confederate president Jefferson Davis and his second wife, Varina Howell Davis. Winnie’s birth in June 1864 was hailed as a blessing by war-weary southerners. Her arrival seemed a good omen that might signify future victory. After the war, Winnie, who spent her early life as a genteel refugee and a European expatriate, was christened the “Daughter of the Confederacy” in 1886. This role was bestowed upon her by a southern society trying to come to terms with defeat. Particularly idolized by such organizations as the United Confederate Veterans and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Winnie became an icon of the Lost Cause, eclipsing even her father in popularity.

This lecture for HIST 2013 covers the creation of Lost Cause ideology by white southerners in the aftermath of the Civil War. It details how these individuals disseminated a falsified memory of the war that emphasized states rights, rather than slavery, as the true cause of the conflict. It posits that Reconstruction was also vilified by pro-Confederate groups that portrayed terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan as heroic defenders of white womanhood and demonized black men as savage rapists incapable of wielding political power. It recounts how national reconciliation efforts hid the continued animosity between northern and southern veterans. It describes how northerners became disenchanted with their veterans and ignored the creeping infiltration of Lost Cause ideology into school curriculums by memorial groups like the United Daughters of the Confederacy.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/history-of-the-american-people-since-1877/donations
