Welcome!

 We hope our website is not only educational but enjoyable as well. We believe Confederate heritage is one part of America's diversity which must be preserved. This includes educating the public about the ethnic diversity that existed in the Confederate ranks. Since Confederate veterans and their descendants include individuals from all races, we invite all male descendants regardless of skin color, ethnicity, and creed to join us in protecting the memory of the Confederate soldier. 

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 which 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."

General Stephen Dill Lee-New Orleans, Louisiana, April 24, 1906  

It is with this vindication that we,  the "Sons of Confederate Veterans",  stand fast to the cause in which our American ancestor's fought for between the years of 1861-1865. We (and a handful of others) are all that stands in the way of the reverse discrimination that seems so determined to  trample the rights of  Southern lineage American citizens. 

It is our heritage that is at stake, but more importantly it is part of every American citizen's history. North, South, East and West, Americans fought and died in the War Between the States. This should never be forgotten, nor should the American's who fought in the war. Their graves should be well kept and monument's should be erected in their namesake's without interference. Unfortunately, this is almost never the case, the SCV works very hard to preserve, maintain, and erect grave markers and monuments in Missouri and all across the country. In many cases, we are not allowed to fly our flags or place our logo's on monuments and grave markers because our flags are viewed as racist symbols.  We reject the abhorrent doctrines of the "Klan" and their defilement of the Confederate flag for the purpose of racial hatred. They no more represent the flag's true symbolism than that of their defiling of the cross that represents Christianity.

 This is our cause,  we stand fast, just as our ancestor's did, to defend History, to defend our Heritage, to Preserve the past and fight for our rights as American citizens. 

God Bless America and God Bless the South!

Among them there was hardly a man who could not read and write, and who was not more intelligent than the great mass of American citizens; not one who had not voluntarily abandoned his home with all its tender ties, and thrown away all his possessions, and left father and mother, or wife and children, within the enemy's lines, that he might himself stand by the South in her hour of great peril, and help her to defend her fields and her firesides. And among them all there was not a man who had come forth to fight for slavery.
