Charge
to the Sons of Confederate Veterans: "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 |
