About Us
Great event honoring Buffalo Soldiers and Confederate Veterans in
the Globe City Cemetery.

Its about Heritage, not hate! See the news!
The Sons of Confederate Veterans, founded in 1896, is a patriotic, historical and educational society of the male descendants of the men who served in the armed forces of the Confederate States of America during the War Between the States, 1861-1865. It is non-political, non-sectarian, and does not promote or condone any racial or ethnic agenda. The purpose of the SCV is to preserve and protect the history and heritage of the Confederate soldier, and to see that a true history of the War Between the States is passed on to future generations.
Camp 1708 has provided support during the past year to the
Antietam National Battlefield; the Chickamauga Nat'l Military Park in Georgia;
the Gettysburg Foundation; the Oakwood Cemetery
Restoration Committee in Virginia; the Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield; and
contributed a rare book published in 1912 and worth nearly a thousand
dollars to the United Daughters of the Confederacy's Goodlett Memorial
Library in Richmond, Virginia. There are several others listed on
the Support page.
Check out the complete list. We need
your support to continue our work!

Charge to the Sons of Confederate Veterans
"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 you also cherish."
