The Tennessee Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy® welcomes you to the official website. The Tennessee Division of the UDC is a non-profit, non-political, women’s historical society. The five objectives of the UDC are Historical, Benevolent, Educational, Memorial, and Patriotic. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about the UDC.
It is my earnest prayer that the United Daughters of the Confederacy may continue to be the crowning glory of Southern womanhood to revere the memory of those heroes in gray and to honor the unswerving devotion to principle which has made the Confederate Soldier the most majestic figure in the page of history.
