Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 2011 Essex Dixie Rifles

web site!

Our Forefathers fought hard and many perished in battle to preserve our rights as sovereign States of the united, (not UNITED), States of America. Though we lost this War Between the States, let none think that we have nothing but the highest respect for those Confederate soldiers that were both White, Black, and American Indian who have now passed on.

We dedicate our love, loyalty, and humble respect and apprectiation to every single one of them. Let none think that that any should be dishonored or that we even dare to be ashamed of the sacrifice they gave in their attempt to save our sovereign rights. It is our solumn prayer that some day these rights may again be restored.

There are thousands of organizations, each with a specific purpose or goal. There are so many reasons why one should consider becoming part of an organization he or she believes in.

One of those reasons is the discovery of who you are. There is a saying: "If you want to discover who you are; find out WHO YOU WERE!" If you don't really understand Civil War History, more than likely you only think you know who you are.

By building an effective web site, we hope to get our message out to a larger audience of people interested in similar issues, and our greatest joy is seeing you find out "who you are".

Such issues as education of the general public concerning the real reason the Civil War was acutually fought is the primary focus of our group. General Grant belived in slavery and kept his slaves well after the War Between the States had ended. General Robert E. Lee did NOT believe in slavery and actually freed slaves that were gifted to him.

If you are one of those people who are not content to drink from the Media's version of events over the past 140 years and are growing tired of being led around by your nose by the so-called "consensis view", give me an e-mail at Essxrifles@wmconnect.com

Please get in touch to offer comments and join us.

We meet every second Tuesday of each month which at the present location is in the Roma's Italian Restuarant at 7 PM in Tappahannock, VA.

Sic Semper Tyrannus.

We invite you to visit us or attend an event. Our members are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the organization and how you can join.

THIS WHAT WE DO & YOU CAN SEE IT'S HARD WORK
