Master's Thesis.

I have arrived at the beginning stages of my thesis research. I'm sure that I will face some resistance from certain professors because, unlike others in my seminar, I have elected not to focus on one or all of the "holy trinity" of race, class, and gender. I'm going to be researching the emergence of American strategic thought and its role in developing a sense of community among the U.S. Officer Corps during the antebellum and Civil War eras. This may also bring resistance from the professors because military history is frowned upon by most academic historians. I will have more updates as my research progresses.
