Origin of the SCV
The Sons of Confederate Veterans 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 ensuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved.
Objectives of the SCV
To preserve the history and legacy of the heroic Confederate soldiers so future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern cause.
