The United Daughters of the Confederacy is the outgrowth of many local memorial, monument, and Confederate home associations and auxiliaries to camps of United Confederate Veterans that were organized after the War Between the States. It is the oldest patriotic organization in our country because of its connection with two statewide organizations that came into existence as early as 1890 -- the Daughters of the Confederacy (DOC) in Missouri and the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Confederate Soldiers Home in Tennessee
The American Civil War Program was created in 1988 when my middle son was in elementary school. I was asked to come to his school to give a civil war program for his 5th grade class. The program went so well that I was invited back the next year. After a few years the word got around to other schools and the program has expanded from schools to senior groups and county and state fairs. I have always tried to make this program an entertaining way to learn about the life of the civil war soldier.
The American Civil War Program DVD was created to bring the program into the classrooms, libraries, and homes of people all over the US and even the world. This DVD is a great way to help educate children and adults alike about the actual events, artifacts, lifestyle, and culture of our forefathers during the American Civil War. We hope you enjoy this DVD as much as we enjoyed making it.
