Historical Perspective
The United Daughters of the Confederacy is the outgrowth of two statewide organizations that came into existence as early as 1890: the Daughters of the Confederacy in Missouri and the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Confederate Soldiers Home in Tennessee. The UDC members continue the important mission of honoring, protecting, and preserving their Confederate heritage to ensure that the noble sacrifices made by their ancestors during the War Between the States are not forgotten.
