Welcome Home! We are the North Carolina Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans
   Right Now, Take The Time To Take Action In Support of the Monument Bill!
       TAR HEELS: FIRST, FARTHEST, FOREMOST!!

Following the War Between the States, the surviving Southern soldiers came together to form a
veterans organization known as the United Confederate Veterans [UCV]. The Sons of Confederate
Veterans [SCV] is the heir to this legacy.

Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1896, the SCV continues to serve as an historical, patriotic and
cultural organization dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861 -- 1865 period and our
Confederate American heritage and culture are preserved and transmitted intact to future generations.

Today, in the Old North State, as in all the states of the former Confederate States of America, we
find ourselves in a war for our Confederate and Southern culture and traditions.  Not only is the honor
of the Confederate soldier being impugned and his memory denigrated, but the principles for which he
fought are maligned and defamed.  For many years the SCV concentrated on commemorations and
quiet observances.  While never neglecting this important part of our mission, in the 21st century we
find ourselves at the forefront of another and more critical battle -- a battle for our very identity and
for our very beliefs.

Ask yourself the questions: 'If we do not defend the principles entrusted to us by our ancestors, who
will?  If we do not advance the colors, who will?' Will you join us?

Thank you for visiting our site.  We hope that you will find much of interest on these pages.  The
North Carolina Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans is here to serve the Tar Heel State and
make a real difference.  Through a variety of programs -- educational initiatives, historical
commemorations, to legislative initiatives to insure that our monuments are protected and legal action
to protect the rights of our citizens to express publicly their heritage -- we are advancing the colors.  
If you are a male aged 12 or older, we ask you to consider membership in the Sons of Confederate
Veterans.  Our heritage is still living, but under serious attack -- join us and help keep it alive and
vibrant!
The "Charge" adopted for use by the NC SCV Division and which we follow:
" 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 we also cherish.
Are you also ready to die for your country? Is your life worthy to be remembered along
with theirs? Do you choose for yourself this greatness of soul? Not in the clamor of the
crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, BUT in ourselves are
triumph and defeat..."
Lt. Gen. Stephen D. Lee ---excerpts of a speech, 1906, New Orleans
