Evidently Arizona doesn't want to follow Richmond's example and instead follow New Orleans's.

There has been some who think that New Orleans is a bad example and Richmond is a good example because Richmond hasn't taken down their Confederate monuments.

This is a blog posting of a person who has advocated that Confederate monuments be retained.

Good News, Arizona Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy has disbanded

Good news, the Arizona Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) disbanded in 2012. This Division had been in existence since the 1920s at least. There are still UDC chapters in Arizona, but not enough to continue keeping a Division going.

It isn't a big victory, but does show the gradual erosion of support for the Lost Cause.
