As the Sons of Confederate Veterans begins to dissolve in its own extremism, former members (and future former members) are starting to look for local, regional, and national Confederate history/heritage groups to join. The Save the SCV website continues to receive inquiries from disillusioned SCVers who ask which of the new organizations they should consider. Below, is a partial list of groups that have been formed:
|
National United Sons of Confederate Soldiers Association: (USCSA) |
|
Texas
Descendants of Confederate Veterans: |
|
Tennessee
Sons of the Confederacy: |
|
Virginia Virginia United Sons of Confederate Soldiers Association (VUS-CSA) |
|
North Carolina R.E. Lee Confederate Heritage Association: Lincolnton, N.C., contact Darrell Harkey 704-732-1221. R.E. Lee Confederate Heritage Association: Matthews, N.C., contact John Ellis 704-847-4812 or john_e65@yahoo.com Colonel John Randolph Lane Society: Chatham County, N.C., Lt. Colonel William Henry Chapman Society: Greensboro, N.C., Onslow Greys, Onslow:
County, NC, contact Roger Alvis, President |
These are but a few of the groups that have been formed. The United Sons of
Confederate Soldiers Association already has USCSA charters in several
states and there are rumors of other states coming on board or forming
allied organizations. The USCSA already has the umbrella 501(c)(3) so other
state organization can join.
The Sons of the Confederacy has local bivouacs in Tennessee and elsewhere
and plan to join the USCSA
The Robert E. Lee and other groups in North Carolina are independent, but
are maintaining liaison with each other.
This list is by no means complete. If you wish to have an additional group
listed, contact Save the SCV.
