West Point Classmates of the American Civil War… brothers in tradition, enemies in battle, their devotion to a code of honor tore at the very fabric of their being and the institution they loved, West Point. The motto of West Point being Duty, Honor, Country.
Among the thousands of men who fought in the Civil War, there were a select few that formed a unique fraternity. Though they came from very different backgrounds, the men who made up this group had in common the military training they had received at an elite school.
