Correct. The answer is c. The advertisement, which suggests that UDC chapters spent years planning memorials before they could afford them and which emphasized the company’s liberal lending terms and effective fundraising plans, indicates that although many southern whites had pride in the Confederacy, few could easily afford to donate funds to purchase memorials.

Correct. The answer is a. Sources 4 and 6 reveal that both African Americans and Confederate veterans who had been privates in the army were offended by the activities of “Lost Cause” associations that glorified Confederate officers and portrayed slave owners as benevolent and generous. These sources make it clear that Confederate commemoration served the interests of those who had benefitted most from plantation slavery.
