The Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.) was founded in 1895 by Harriett Lothrop. After the idea for a children’s branch was proposed at the Daughters of the American Revolution Continental Congress, the organization was promptly chartered by the United States Congress. C.A.R., the nation's oldest and largest, patriotic youth organization, offers membership to anyone under the age of 22 who is lineally descended from someone who served in the Continental Army or gave material aid to the cause of freedom in the American Revolution. The N.S.C.A.R. has six primary objectives in its Bylaws; these objectives are the foundation of the organization: # To acquire knowledge of American History. # To preserve and restore places of Historical importance associated with men and women who forwarded American Independence. # To ascertain the deeds and honor the memories of the men, women and children who rendered service to the cause of the American Revolution. # To promote the celebration of patriotic anniversaries. # To honor and cherish the Flag of the United States of America above every other flag. # To love, uphold and extend the principles of American liberty and patriotism. 〔 (Children of the American "Revolution.
