THE CHARGE
"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will
commit 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 you love
also, and those ideals which made him glorious
and which you also cherish."
-Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander
General, United Confederate Veterans, New
Orleans, Louisiana, April 25, 1906.
