| The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) is a Southern heritage organization consisting of direct and collateral female descendants of the soldiers, sailors and statesmen of the Confederate States of America (1861-1865). The National Association of the Daughters of the Confederacy was organized in Nashville, Tennessee, September 10, 1894. When the organization held its second meeting in Atlanta, Georgia in 1895, the name changed to United Daughters of the Confederacy. It is the oldest patriotic organization in the United States because of its connection with two statewide organizations which came into existence as early as 1890; The Daughters of the Confederacy (D.O.C.) in Missouri and the Ladies Auxiliary in the Confederate Home in Tennessee. The aims of the organization are Patriotic, Memorial, Benevolent, Educational and Historical. |
The General organization is
divided
into State Divisions, which are further subdivided into
Districts and Chapters.
