At the fourteenth annual meeting of the North Carolina Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy,16 one of the speakers extolled the organization’s virtues: You were the song of the Old South: you are the theme of the New South; and to-day in this high hour of peace and commercialism, when men are prone to forget, we find you banded together, United Daughters of the Confederacy, all still loyal to Southern rights, democracy, and, thank God, to white supremacy.
