Anna Mitchell Davenport Raines (April 8, 1853 – January 21, 1915) was an American philanthropist and founding Vice President of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
As a child during the American Civil War, she brought bandages and food to Confederate hospitals and military camps in Savannah.
[1] In 1892 Raines responded to a call from the Confederate Veterans' Association of Savannah for women of the city to form their own auxiliary organization.
At a meeting in December 1893 Raines suggested that the auxiliary form into a permanent organization, and moved to change the name to Daughters of the Confederacy.
[1][6] Goodlett and Raines were made aware of each other's organizations and joined them together, extending invitations to similar women's societies in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri to create the National Association of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
