Alabama Division Reunion
2012 - Guntersville
|
Montgomery Alabama became the first Capitol of the Confederacy in 1861 as the
states who wished to secede at the time held a provisional congress and elected
a provisional President, Jefferson Davis. Davis took the oath of office on the
steps of the capitol on February 18th, 1861. This past February, we recreated
this event to thousands of SCV members who came to commemorate this historical
150th anniversary of this.

 "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
