"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. Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history of the South is presented to the future generations "

The St. Johns Rangers are dedicated to researching, preserving, and presenting the history of Florida and its role in the American Civil War. Our purpose is educational: to study primary sources, examine historical context, and share documented facts about the men, families, and communities connected to this era.
We believe history should be approached with seriousness, accuracy, and respect. Our goal is to encourage learning, thoughtful discussion, and a deeper understanding of 19th-century Florida without modern political framing or personal attacks.
Many of our fellow Americans have been misinformed about Confederate History and Southern Culture. American communities all across our great nation have allowed politics and political agendas to infiltrate our educational institutions. The myth of the "Lost Cause" was created to rewrite history to make slavery as the SOLE cause of the War Between the States. While slavery was a factor of tension between Northern and Southern States since the early 19th Century as America expanded westward; there were many other issues that developed that culminated in the war from 1861-1865. The final flame that lit the fuse to the powder keg was the North's inability to accept the Southern State's Right to leave the Union. That is what Jefferson Davis and all Confederate Veterans meant when they said the war was about "State's Rights"; their right to secede from the Union and change their form of government as detailed by Thomas Jefferson in the U.S. Declaration of Independence. The Rights and Liberty defined by Thomas Jefferson was and still is The Confederate Cause that we, The Sons of Confederate Veterans, Camp 1360, The St. Johns Rangers are devoted to.
Florida played a unique role in the Civil War. As one of the smaller Confederate states by population, it served primarily as a supplier of food, cattle, salt, and strategic coastal access. Florida units participated in major engagements across the South, and the war deeply affected local families, farms, churches, and towns.
Understanding Florida’s Civil War history requires examining:
By studying these topics through documented evidence, we seek to provide historical context rather than modern interpretation.
We focus on:
History is complex. We aim to present information clearly, cite sources responsibly, and encourage readers to explore the records for themselves.
SCV Camp 1360 provides the True History of the South with all the facts. We do not tell you "what you need to know", nor do we "tell" you anything. We will present the facts, with the supporting evidence, and allow you to make up your own mind. What most people soon realize is that they have only been told one side of history. Once they learn who the South really was pre and post Civil War, they learn a deeper respect for America as a whole.
