Creed
Because we desire to perpetuate, in love and honor, the heroic deeds of those who enlisted in
the Confederate Services and upheld its flag through four years of war, we, the children of the
South, have united in an Organization called the "Children of the Confederacy," in which our
strength, enthusiasm, and love of justice can exert its influence. We, therefore, pledge ourselves
to preserve pure ideas; to honor the memory of our beloved Veterans; to study and teach the
truths of history (one of the most important of which is that the War Between the States was
not a rebellion, nor was its underlying cause to sustain slavery); and always to act in a manner
that will reflect honor upon our noble and patriotic ancestors.
