Long Gray Lines : The Southern Military School Tradition, 1839-1915 Paperback / softback
by Rod Andrew Jr.
Paperback / softback
Description
Challenging assumptions about a distinctive ""southern military tradition,"" Rod Andrew demonstrates that southern military schools were less concerned with preparing young men for actual combat than with instilling in their students broader values of honor, patriotism, civic duty, and virtue.
Southerners had a remarkable tendency to reconcile militarism with republicanism, Andrew says, and following the Civil War, the Lost Cause legend further strengthened the link in southerners' minds between military and civic virtue.
