Excerpt from History of the Effort to Combine Into One Society the Descendants of Revolutionary Sires A movement for the union of the National Society of the Sons of The American Revolution and the General Society of the Sons of the Revolution began very soon after the formation of the National Society Of The Sons of the American Revolution in 1889, but the overtures of the National Officers of The Sons of the American Revolution were not cordially reciprocated by those of the other Society, and little progress toward union was made for three years. The agitation of the subject, however, set in operation in the Society of the Sons of the Revolution influences favorable to an amalgamation, one of the fruits of which was the abolition of the auxiliary clause in their constitution which had been the bone of so much contention, and the adoption of a form of organization based more nearly on the representative American idea. About this time, several of the larger and more influential State Societies of The Sons of the American Revolution received invitations from Societies of the Sons of the Revolution in New York and elsewhere to join their General Society.
