Who are the Sons of Confederate Veterans on a National Level?
Answer: On a National Level, from the SCV.org Website:
The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. The preservation of liberty and freedom was the motivating factor in the South's decision to fight the Second American Revolution. The tenacity with which Confederate soldiers fought underscored their belief in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. These attributes are the underpinning of our democratic society and represent the foundation on which this nation was built. Today, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes, so future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause.
How is the SCV different from other historical organizations?
Answer: Unlike other organizations the SCV was issued a direct charge by Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General, United Confederate Veterans in New Orleans, Louisiana, April 25, 1906 which states:
"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."
It is our goal, mission and vision to attempt to fulfill this charge through remembrance, dedication, education, preservation, community and fellowship.
