    Section 1 General Information BRIGADIER GENERAL MICAH JENKINS CAMP 1569 SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS MEMBER HANDBOOK GENERAL INFORMATION Heritage of Honor 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 descendants 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. The SCV has ongoing programs at the local, state, and national levels which offer members a wide range of activities. Preservation work, marking Confederate soldiers' graves, historical re- enactments, scholarly publications, and regular meetings to discuss the military and political history of the War Between the States are only a few of the activities sponsored by local units, called camps. All state organizations, known as Divisions, hold annual conventions, and many publish regular newsletters to the membership dealing with statewide issues. Each Division has a corps of officers elected by the membership who coordinate the work of camps and the national organization.

RADICALSIM AND REBELLION: PRESIDENTIAL RECONSTRUCTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA APRIL 1865 TO MAY 1866 A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts History by Walter Steven Bright May 2008 Accepted by: Dr. Rod Andrew Jr., Committee Chair Dr. H. Roger Grant Dr. Abel A. Bartley ABSTRACT The focus of this thesis deals primarily with the white elite of South Carolina during Presidential Reconstruction. Historians have noted South Carolina radicalism before the Civil War, but I propose that this radicalism did not simply fade away when the war ended. I argue that the Civil War did not destroy white South Carolinians’ will to fight; a sense of nationalism still flourished as they continued to rebel against the federal government, despite the devastating effects of the war on the Palmetto State. This work will show that these white elites continued this fight because they were enraged over the total devastation left in the wake of Sherman’s march through the state and the failure of the federal government to institute an acceptable Reconstruction plan.

  • Flags of the State Navies in the Revolutionary War 23
    Flags of the State Navies in the Revolutionary War 23 Flags of the State Navies in the Revolutionary War: A Critical Overview Peter Ansoff Introduction During the American Revolution, eleven of the thirteen American states operated state navies of one sort or another.1 Over the years, there has been considerable discussion in the vexillological literature about the flags used by the state navies. This paper summarizes the known evidence related to those flags and suggests some avenues for further research. The first part provides a very brief overview of the state navies them- selves, including their composition, the nature of their operations and their chronologies. The second part presents a series of “case studies” document- ing what we know (or don’t know) concerning the flags used by several of the navies. The State Navies The state navies were separate and distinct organizations from the Con- tinental Navy organized by Congress. Unlike the Continental Army, which was initially formed by merging troops raised by the individual states into a national force, the Continental Navy and the state navies were formed separately and in parallel. In several cases (Massachusetts, for example), the state navy was not even established until several months after the creation of the Continental Navy. There were, of course, a few ships that served in both state and Continental navies (the Rhode Island sloop Katy, which Raven, Vol. 17, 2010, pp. 23–46 ISSN 1071-0043 ©2010 NAVA 24 Peter Ansoff became the Providence in the Continental Navy, is a famous example), but the organizations were separate and distinct.2 For discussion purposes, the state navies can be conveniently divided into three groups.

This book attempts to give a short, simple history of South Carolina from the first settlement to the present day. Biographical sketches of rulers and leaders are arranged in close connection in order to furnish a con- tinuous historical narrative. The story of the lives of many great and good men of the state is of necessity left out; the boys and girls of South Carolina must read about them in larger books than this. Many worthy and noble women have also helped to build up and strengthen the state of South Carolina. In Colonial and Revolutionary days, and most of all during the period of the Southern Confederacy, they toiled and suffered in behalf of their people. It is not possible, however, in these brief pages to give the story of their deeds of devotion and self-sacrifice. The statements made in this book are based through- out on public records and on the original writings of those who had a share in the events and deeds herein described.
