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."
