The Sons of Confederate Veterans Misplaced Pages article
The only way to prove what the Sons of Confederate Veterans’ official position on an issue currently is, is to reference official authorized statements of the SCV. The SCV’s definition of itself and its own reasons for existing and ultimate goals should be included in any Misplaced Pages article discussing the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
The SCV Misplaced Pages article should not be a series of links to SPLC articles or sites about how dangerous it is, or a series of links to white supremacist sites. The SPLC has an agenda, which should be obvious to anyone examining this issue from a neutral standpoint. In the SCV Misplaced Pages article, facts should be presented, not speculations from groups antagonistic to the SCV.
The SCV’s official declarations state that the Sons of Confederate Veterans is a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved. The SCV has ongoing programs at the local, state, and national levels which offer members a wide range of activities which include preservation work, marking Confederate soldier's graves, scholarly publications, historical re-enactments, and regular meetings to discuss the military and political history of the War Between the States and issues affecting Southern heritage.
