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"
