The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. Today, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes, 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.
Membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans is open to all male descendants over the age of twelve of any veteran who served honorably in the Confederate armed forces. The SCV has ongoing programs at the local, state, and national levels which offer members a wide range of history-related activities. In addition to the privilege of belonging to an organization devoted exclusively to commemorating and honoring Confederate soldiers, members receive "The Confederate Veteran", the bi-monthly national magazine which contains in-depth articles on the war along with news affecting Southern heritage.
