THE CHARGE
"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we submit 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 he loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish."  Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations.


- Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General, United Confederate Veterans, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1906

SALUTE TO THE CONFEDERATE FLAG

          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 SCV is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes so that future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause.
          The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans, and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendents of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia in 1896, the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to ensuring that a true history of the 1861 - 1865 period is preserved.
Membership is open to all male descendants of any veteran who served honorably in the Confederate armed forces.
​          Membership is open to all male descendents of any veteran who served honorably in the Confederate armed forces.
