| Welcome to
the Col. E.T. Stackhouse Camp 1576 Website!
In 1896, the Sons of Confederate Veterans was founded by the
veterans and progeny of veterans who fought in the War Between
the States. The Sons of Confederate Veterans was established
as, and remains, an independent organization that supports the
protection and preservation of Confederate heritage. Current
members are descendants of the original defenders of Confederate
heritage, and are not aligned or affiliated with any other organization.
Ask yourself these questions: "If we do not defend the
principles entrusted to us by our ancestors, who will? If we
do not advance the colors, who will?" Will you join us?
Thank you for visiting our site. We hope that you will find
much of interest on these pages. Through a variety of programs
- educational initiatives, historical commemorations, to legislative
initiatives to insure that our monuments are protected and legal
action to protect the rights of our citizens to express publicly
their heritage - we are advancing the colors. If you are a male
aged twelve or older, we ask you to consider membership in the
Sons of Confederate Veterans. Our heritage is still living,
but under serious attack - join us and help keep it alive and
vibrant!

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. 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. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commanding General
United Confederate Veterans
New Orleans, Louisiana
