Stephen Dill Lee on lynching and African American men as rapists
There is a companion page on neo-Confederates representing African American men as rapists. See related page at the bottom of this section.
Stephen Dill Lee is the author of "The Charge," a statement by Lee as to the purpose of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The Sons of Confederate Veterans frequently refer to it as their purpose and reason they exist.
You can read this charge online at the Sons of Confederate Veterans website on their home page.

This is the text of "The Charge"
“To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will commit the vindication of the cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier’s good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved and which you love also, and those ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish.”
The Sons of Confederate Veterans think very highly of him. Their educational institute, the Stephen Dill Lee Institue, is named after him. http://stephendleeinstitute.com/ This is the committee that currently runs it. https://scv.org/stephen-dill-lee-institute-committee/

They consider him a hero. Stephen D. Lee's Charge is quoted in the Confederate Veteran when the SCV advocates that the modern member of the Sons of Confederate Veteran should have the political and cultural values of the Confederate soldier as understood by Stephen D. Lee.
Hence what the view point of Stephen D. Lee was on lynching gives insight into the values of the modern neo-Confederate.

STEPHEN DILL LEE ON RAPE AND LYNCHING IN THE SOUTH (below).
This extract is from Vol. 12 of the series "Confederate Military History," published y the Confederate Publishing Company of Atlanta, Georgia, 1899, and edited by Gen. Clement A. Evans of Georgia, who was a commander-in-chief of the United Confederrate Veterans. There are later editions of the series that have additional volumes addded. I have included the page numbers as they appear in the text. You will see some words breaking across the pages.
When you read Stephen D. Lee's text making excuses for lynching and characterizing African American men as a danger for rape I think you will realize what these "principles" which Lee refers to in "The Charge" are about. You can download the entire Vol. 12 at this link https://archive.org/details/confederatemilit12inevan/page/n4. |
