	Army of the Trans-Mississippi Sons of Confederate Veterans	On June 30, 1889, the United Confederate Veterans, composed only of those who wore the gray, were organized. Descendants of these veterans, "sons," met with the UCV, but still had quasi-official status. Formation of a "camp of sons," was usually accomplished by the UCV Division Commander himself directing formation of these supporting groups. In June, 1896, a circular was sent to all veterans and sons urging formation of the "sons" at the UCV convention to be held in Richmond, Virginia. The circular gave an outline of the proposed federation. At the UCV convention this resolution was offered: Resolved, that this session provide at once for the formation of Sons of Confederate Veterans into a separate national organization. It is urgent from the manifold fact that our ranks are thinning daily, and our loved representatives should step in now and arrange to take charge of Southern history, our relics, mementos and monuments, and stimulate the erection of their monuments to our heroes ere "taps " are sounded for the last of our fathers. The resolution was adopted by the UCV, and on July 1, 1896, with 40 delegates representing 24 "sons" camps, the constitution was completed, adopted, and the "United Sons of Confederate Veterans" came into existence.

For all his courage, his sterling character, and selfless commitment to his cause Patrick Cleburne has not received the commemoration his career and personal bravery deserve. The Patrick Cleburne Society was founded in 1998 to perpetuate his memory through events and seminars commemorating his life and accomplishments. Arguably the best Confederate general in the Army of Tennessee, Cleburne remains virtually unknown to most Americans and many Southerners. Through the Patrick Cleburne Society, we hope to rectify this oversight, and preserve for future generations not only the battlefields where Cleburne’s Division won immortality, but the story of the man who led it.

	Confederate Regimental Histories Directory	The Confederacy raised between 764 and 1009 regiments over the period of the Civil War. The lack of adequate records precludes a more accurate count. Regardless of the actual number of regiments recruited, the list below is but a small fraction of those that were raised. It is hoped that many other Civil War regiments will find a "webmaster" in the future to preserve their history.
The citizen-soldiers who fought for the Confederacy personified the best qualities of America. The preservation of liberty and freedom was the motivating factor in the South's decision to fight the Second American Revolution. The tenacity with which Confederate soldiers fought underscored their belief in the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. These attributes are the underpinning of our democratic society and represent the foundation on which this nation was built. Today, the Sons of Confederate Veterans is preserving the history and legacy of these heroes, so future generations can understand the motives that animated the Southern Cause. The SCV is the direct heir of the United Confederate Veterans, and the oldest hereditary organization for male descendents of Confederate soldiers. Organized at Richmond, Virginia in 1896, the SCV continues to serve as a historical, patriotic, and non-political organization dedicated to insuring that a true history of the 1861-1865 period is preserved. Membership in the Sons of Confederate Veterans is open to all male descendents of any veteran who served honorably in the Confederate armed forces	Sons of Confederate Veterans .
