In For Liberty and the Republic, Ricardo A. Herrera examines the relationship between soldier and citizen from the War of Independence through the first year of the Civil War. The work analyzes an idealized republican ideology as a component of soldiering in both peace and war. Herrera argues that American soldiers? belief system?the military ethos of republicanism?drew from the larger body of American political thought. This ethos illustrated and informed soldiers? faith in an inseparable connection between bearing arms on behalf of the republic, and earning and holding citizenship in it. Despite the undeniable existence of customs, organizations, and behaviors that were uniquely military, the officers and enlisted men of the regular army, states? militias, and wartime volunteers were the products of their society, and they imparted what they understood as important elements of American thought into their service. Drawing from military and personal correspondence, journals, orderly books, militia constitutions, and other documents in over forty archives in twenty-three states, Herrera maps five broad, interrelated, and mutually reinforcing threads of thought constituting soldiers? beliefs: Virtue; Legitimacy; Self-governance; Glory, Honor, and Fame; and the National Mission. Spanning periods of war and peace, these five themes constituted a coherent and long-lived body of ideas that informed American soldiers? sense of identity for generations. 410 0$aWarfare and culture series. 606 $aHISTORY / Military / General$2bisacsh 607 $aUnited States$xHistory, Military$y18th century 607 $aUnited States$xHistory, Military$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xMilitia$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aUnited States$xMilitia$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Military / General. 676 $a355.1097309034 700 $aHerrera$b Ricardo A.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01051659 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480690103321 996 $aFor Liberty and the Republic$92482327 997 $aUNINA
