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
