The Sons of
Confederate Veterans is an organization of male descendents of
Confederate Veterans. Our mission was passed on to us from our
ancestors.
Stephen D. Lee's
charge to the Sons as follows:
"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."
