The elite young men who inhabited northern antebellum states-the
New Brahmins-developed their leadership class identity based on the
term "character": an idealized internal standard of behavior
consisting most importantly of educated, independent thought and
selfless action. With its unique focus on Union honor, nationalism,
and masculinity, Northern Character addresses the motivating
factors of these young college-educated Yankees who rushed into the
armed forces to take their place at the forefront of the Union's
war. This social and intellectual history tells the New Brahmins'
story from the campus to the battlefield and, for the fortunate
ones, home again. Northern Character examines how these good and
moral "men of character" interacted with common soldiers and faced
battle, reacted to seeing the South and real southerners, and
approached race, Reconstruction, and Reconciliation.
