Confederate Veterans Association

The Confederate Veterans Association was a group formed after the American Civil War by men who served in the Confederate Army. Its purpose was to preserve the history and memory of their service, provide camaraderie among veterans, and advocate for their interests. These associations often held reunions, maintained memorials, and promoted the values and experiences of Confederates. Over time, they played a role in shaping historical remembrance and, at times, associated with organizations that promoted particular political or social viewpoints related to the Confederacy's legacy.
