"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."
from
a speech by Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, C.S.A.
