The Sons of Confederate Veterans

I am glad to introduce to the state of Georgia and the rest of the country, a few proud men who are members of The Sons of Confederate Veterans. My guest speaker will be a well seasoned and articulate graduate of Virginia University, named Mr. Doug Allen of Roswell, Ga. The Sons of Confederate Veterans represents 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 activities of these heroes of yester-year. So 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 descendants of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia in 1896, the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved.
