"In the early 20th century, the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), United Confederate Veterans, and Sons of Confederate Veterans banded together, installing their members on state textbook commissions, aggressively pursuing book bans, and persecuting teachers who deviated from the groups’ white supremacist positions. In 1905 the UDC president was clear about the group’s pedagogical goals. “It has ever been the cherished purpose of the Daughters of the Confederacy to secure greater educational opportunities for Confederate children, and by thorough training of their powers of mind, heart and hand, render it possible for these representatives of our Southern race to retain for that race its supremacy in its own land.”
