1. This group has gotten crazier over the years

Flat out white supremacy...

2. In other words

A group of well off Southern white women got together and created a myth, or decided that lying was much better then being honest!!!

"The UDC was established in September 10, 1894 at Nashville, Tennessee, by Caroline Goodlett and Anna Raines. According to the author Kristina DuRocher, the stated aims of the organization included "creating a social network, memorializing the war, maintaining a 'truthful record of the noble and chivalric achievements' of their veterans, and teaching the next generation 'a proper respect for and pride in the glorious war history'."

And now they promote a white supremacist and neo-Confederate agenda and has tried to legitimize Jim Crow rule in the American South.

So, they are just another group of racists!!!

3. I always suspected that these women

were the sour-grapes rejects who couldn't get into the DAR. Kind of like Trump and golf courses.
