For Liberty and the Republic: The American Citizen as Soldier, 1775–1861
For Liberty and the Republic explores how Americans understood military service between the Revolution and the Civil War. Ricardo A. Herrera examines Continental soldiers, militiamen, volunteers, and regular troops to show how the ideal of the citizen-soldier shaped enlistment, discipline, political identity, and resistance to authority. The result connects military experience to changing ideas about citizenship in the early republic.
