Fighting for the preservation of all that is good about the South.

A History of Honor

After the War Between the States, Confederate soldiers returned to the spare fruits of the Lost Cause, an oppressive Reconstruction, and to the task of repairing the torn fabric of constitutional government.

Many outside the South were convinced that Confederate soldiers enlisted in a military effort to preserve the institution of slavery.  Ninety percent of the soldiers never owned a slave.  The Confederate veterans were therefore anxious for the opportunity to accurately portray what they were about...a simple and honorable defense of home and hearth, with an often shared repugnance for the politics of race in general and the institution of slavery in particular.

At the end of the 19th century, they formed the United Confederate Veterans.  And it was a group of UCV gentlemen who saw the need for establishing a Washington presence to properly reflect Southern culture.

They formed the Confederate Memorial Association which then purchased the Confederate Memorial Hall in downtown Washington.  This distinguished mansion served as a veterans home and became a center of cultural activities with an impressive collection of oil paintings, literature and memorabilia.

As the 20th century drew to a close, the CMA was sponsoring magnificent white tie grand balls, barbecues, horse events, and a myriad of activities that showcase Southern culture and its inherent good manners and abiding respect for others.

Under Siege

In the mid-1980s, a siege was begun against the CMA which was designed to change the emphasis of our organization from the honor and dignity that Southern hospitality imparts to all, to the politics of race.

Massive litigation -- sponsored by political manipulators using federal funds employees and agencies -- was begun which culminated in the sale of Confederate Memorial Hall in December of 1997 to pay the legal bills.

The military siege by federal troops at Petersburg in the 19th century effectively ended the military conflict.  But the cultural siege by federal agencies and personnel in the 20th century has not ended the cultural conflict.  It continues.

Standing for Culture

The Confederate Memorial Association continues to advocate for all that is good about the South.  The Southern cultural cause is presented by the CMA in newspapers, magazines, and national television and radio  talk shows, with an enthusiastic description of how it can enhance the goodness in all who encounter it.

As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, we hope you will join the CMA and help us get the accurate word out on what Southern culture really means;  on why Southern symbols and monuments are built on foundations of honor; and on what beneficial lessons history provides for everyone.

Joining for the Future

Please join us in this most important preservation of all...the preservation of that God-given environment called culture.  It's the only gift that will mean anything for future generations.  And it may even help us acquire another Confederate Memorial Hall.

Membership Means...

---Continuing the advocacy of one of the oldest Confederate societies in the country;

---Keeping the oldest Confederate site on the Internet;

---Making the difference in television and radio debates that present reasoned rather than racist appeals;

---Showcasing Southern culture to the rest of the world; and

---Helping us establish another site for our precious artifacts.

The Confederate Memorial Association is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization dedicated to the preservation of the finest traditions of Southern culture and history. The Association owned and operated the Confederate Memorial Hall, a gracious mansion in the center of the Logan Circle historic district in downtown Washington, D.C. until the courts forced the sale of the century-old facility. The Association, however, continues in its defense of the South despite the unremitting legal assaults of the courts.
