North Carolina Division Sons of Confederate Veterans
The History of our Confederate
Veterans numbering more than
150,000 soldiers from NC includes the
history of our North Carolina Generals.
We know you will find the short
biographies of these men educational.
Their History is that of NC's fighting
Tar Heels.
By examining your own family's
genealogy you may find that one or
more of these men are your ancestors.
Even if they are not you may find that
one or more of the 150,000 soldiers
were your ancestor and you owe it to
yourself and family to join the S.C.V. in
order to keep their memory alive.
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

"First at Bethel, Farthest to the Front at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, Last at Appomattox"
