Our History
________________________
We are one of over 800 such camps spread
over the United States that derived from the original "United Confederate
Veterans" founded in 1896. The statement that follows here was given by Lt.
General Stephen D. Lee, Commander General United Confederate Veterans in New
Orleans, Louisiana, 1906:
"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
