Greetings from the Kentucky Division,
Sons of Confederate Veterans!

The Kentucky Division represents the 24 local units, known as Camps, that are situated across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Those camps are organized into 7 Brigades which comprise the entire Division [See Detailed PDF]. For more information on the entire Confederation you can go HERE. Our organization is open to men aged 12 and above who prove through genealogical research a bloodline that includes a Confederate Veteran who served honorably during the period between 1861 and 1865. Our organization can assist in that research. If there was ever a time for our mission statement to be practiced- the effort to vindicate and remember that cause of the men in Gray to maintain the principles of the limited constitutional republican government of America's beginning - today is that day. Join us!

"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."

Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee,
Commander General, United Confederate Veterans,
New Orleans, Louisiana, 25 April 1906

We hope you enjoy your visit with us and invite you to check back often for updates.


Commander's Comments
New: Appeal for Funds for Civil Suit!
Monument Dedicated!

Commander Hiter writes: The photo (above) was taken in front of the Confederate monument in front of the old Court House in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina on the 28th of October. We had all just come from the County Court room, where the District Attorney, faced with no complainant (for the second time) had to petition the judge to dismiss the charges against Kentucky Lieutenant Commander Bazz Childress.





"It is to me simply incredible, that a people so shrewd and practical as those of the United States, should expect us to have discarded, through the logic of the sword merely, the convictions of a lifetime; or that they could be deceived by us, should we be base enough to assert it of ourselves. They know that the people of the South were conquered, and not convinced; and that the authority of the United States was accepted by us from necessity, and not from preference. ....The people of the South went to war, because they sincerely believed (what their political fathers had taught them, with one voice, for two generations) that the doctrine of State-sovereignty for which they fought, was absolutely essential as the bulwark of the liberties of the people."
