society of the cincinnati  

Définition

  • Founded as a hereditary society for Continental Army officers and their descendants, with a vision of preserving hard-won wartime camaraderie, the Society of the Cincinnati is now the oldest and most prestigious hereditary society in the United States. In its early years, the Society of the Cincinnati became the center of American debates about the role of the military in the new nation, the possibility of an aristocratic caste developing around officer status, and the dangers of mimicking European decorations and honors for men who were citizens, not subjects.
