Focusing on the evolution of male identity among white Southerners from the 1790s to the 1820s, this work delves into how young men of the southern gentry developed a sense of confidence, independence, and power. It examines the emergence of standards for manhood in the early South and how these ideals influenced their identities, ultimately shaping many into southern nationalists. The study highlights the complex interplay between personal values and broader societal changes that contributed to the tensions leading to the division of the republic.
