Early lifeEdith Drake Pope was born in 1869 to a former slaveholding family.[1] She grew up in Williamson County, "less than one mile" from the John Pope House in Burwood, Tennessee, built by her paternal grandfather.[1] Her father, William Campbell Pope, served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861-1865.[1] She had two brothers and three sisters.[1] Pope graduated from the (now defunct) Tennessee Female College in Franklin, Tennessee in 1888.[1] CareerPope began her career as Sumner Archibald Cunningham's secretary; Cunningham was the founder and editor of the Confederate Veteran, a monthly magazine about veterans of the Confederate States Army.[2] When he died in December 1913, she became its editor until her retirement in 1932.[3] Pope was an active member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.[4] She was the president of the Nashville No. 1 chapter from 1927 to 1930, and its recording secretary from 1930 to 1935.[4] She helped install the Matthew Fontaine Maury Monument in Richmond, Virginia and the Tennessee Confederate Women's Monument in Nashville.[4] She was also a member of the Confederate Memorial Literary Society,[4] which established the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond; it was later renamed the American Civil War Museum. Pope also played a key role in the construction of Confederate Memorial Hall at Peabody College (now Vanderbilt University) in Nashville, where she made sure the college would also teach a course on Southern history.[5] Pope supported the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow laws.[1] She was a proponent of the "repatriation" of African-American United States citizens to Africa, and she was nostalgic about the American Colonization Society.[1] Personal life and deathPope resided in the West End neighborhood of Nashville, next to Centennial Park and Vanderbilt University.[1] Pope died on January 27, 1947 in Burwood, Tennessee.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite book|last1=Simpson|first1=John A.|title=Edith D.
