| In 1906, Confederate General Stephen D. Lee gave this "Charge" to the real Sons of Confederate Veterans at the United Confederate Veterans Reunion in New Orleans. The words below are the raison d'etre of the Sons of Confederate Veterans: |
| The Charge "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 principals he loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish. |
