Charge to the Sons of Confederate Veterans
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. Remember, it is your duty
to see that the true history of the South is presented to future generations.
