More about the book

Focusing on the early South, this study delves into the development of masculinity among young men of the southern gentry from the 1790s to the 1820s. Lorri Glover analyzes the formation of manhood standards and their impact on these young men, revealing how these values evolved into southern nationalism. This transformation played a significant role in shaping the identities of American sons, ultimately leading to their involvement in actions that threatened the unity of the republic they were meant to guide.
