"We
could have pursued no other course without dishonor. And sad as
the results have been, if it had all to be done over again, we should be
compelled to act in precisely the same manner."
~General Robert E. Lee,
CSA
"Governments
are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of
the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive
of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such
Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
~Declaration

Welcome to the website of the
Oklahoma Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans! The SCV is an
international, non-profit historical honor society with over 30,000 members.
We are dedicated to preserving the true history of the Confederacy.
In Oklahoma, the SCV has
several local chapters, known as Camps. Our Camps engage in a variety of
activities and special projects such as sponsoring living history
demonstrations in schools and reenactments, marking Confederate graves, and
preserving historic sites.
Oklahoma -- formerly known as Indian Territory -- is rich in its
 history and
connections to the Confederacy. All five of the "Civilized Tribes"
(the Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Choctaw, and Chickasaw) officially allied
with the Confederate States of America and fought in the War for Southern
Independence. Stand Watie, the famous
Cherokee Confederate leader, was also the only American Indian on either
side to rise to a brigadier general's rank during the War.

"The
Southern Preceptor"
"Nothing fills me with deeper
sadness than to see a Southern man apologizing for the defense
we made of our inheritance. Our cause was so just, so sacred,
that had I known all that has come to pass, had I known what was
to be inflicted upon me, all that my country was to suffer, all
that our posterity was to endure, I would do it all over
again.''
President Jefferson Davis
