Following The War Between the States, the surviving Southern soldiers came together to form a veterans organization known as The United Confederate Veterans (UCV). The Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) is the heir to this legacy. Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1896, The Sons of Confederate Veterans continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and cultural organization dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period and our Confederate American heritage and culture are preserved and transmitted intact to future generations.

"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will commit the vindication of the cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved and which you love also, and those ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish. Are you also ready to die for your country? Is your life worthy to be remembered along with theirs? Do you choose for yourself this greatness of soul? Not in the clamor of the crowded street. Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng. But in ourselves are triumph and defeat." |
