Bets returns to Tennessee after the death of her father as the last member of the Nokes line. Despite his attachment to a Southern town Bets found unbearable, she saw her father as a hero. That image is complicated as she finalizes his funeral arrangements. His car radio is tuned to conservative talk radio, he has secretly been attending the church that booted her when she was a teenager for being queer, and most disconcertingly, Confederate Lost Cause memorabilia is hung proudly in the living room. Daughter of the Confederacy is about confronting the problematic soil of the South and stripping the sitcom veneer of family away to make peace with where you’re from and where you’re going.
