These diaries, along with Stephen Berry's introduction, address some of the central questions in the study of southern manhood: how masculine ideals in the Old South were constructed and maintained, how males of different ages and regions resisted, modified, or flouted those ideals, how those ideals could be expressed differently in public and private, and how the Civil War provoked a seismic shift in southern masculinity.
