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."

"Everyone
should do all in his power to collect and disseminate the truth, in the
hope that it may find a place in history and descend to posterity.
History is not the relation of campaigns and battles and generals or
other individuals, but that which shows the principles for which the
South contended and which justified her struggle for those principles."
General Robert E. Lee

"The
Confederate soldiers were our kinfolk and our heroes. We testify to the
country our enduring fidelity to their memory. We commemorate their
valor and devotion. There were some things that were not surrendered at
Appomatox. We did not surrender our rights in history, nor was it one
of the conditions of surrender that unfriendly lips should be suffered
to tell the story of that war or that unfriendly hands should write the
epitaphs of the Confederate dead. We have a right to teach our children
the true history of that war, the causes that led up to it, and the
principles involved."
