Who really put Confederate monuments across the South?

Confederate monuments stand across the South, but many trace back to the efforts of one influential organization: the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

The AJC's Koralie Barrau explores how the organization's influence became part of the broader Lost Cause movement and why the debate continues today.
