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 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 in the Sons of Confederate Veterans is open to all
male descendants of any veteran who served honorably in the
Confederate armed forces.
