Who were the United Confederate Veterans?

The United Confederate Veterans, or UCV, was a veteran's organization for former Confederate Soldiers in the Civil War, and equivalent to the Grand Army of the Republic, or GAR, the Union veterans organization. In 1896, the Sons of Confederate Veterans were formed to be the successor to the UCV in preserving the memory of the Confederate soldier.

Locally, The Greene County Archives and Records Center owns the minutes for the Campbell Camp No. 488, UCV, from 1904 to 1918. In addition, the MSU Library and the Wilson's Creek National Battlefield Library own collections of Confederate Veteran Magazine, the official periodical of the United Confederate Veterans.
