From mid-1864, just months into his reign as the military commander of the state, until his death in December 1894, the mere mention of his name triggered a firestorm of curses from editorialists and politicians. By the end of Burbridge's tenure, Governor Thomas E. Bramlette concluded that he was an 'imbecile commander' whose actions represented nothing but the 'blundering of a weak intellect and an overwhelming vanity.' In this revealing biography, Brad Asher explores how Burbridge earned his infamous reputation and adds an important new layer to the ongoing reexamination of Kentucky during and after the Civil War. He explains that Burbridge's use of measures, including retaliatory executions, to quell guerrillas and Confederate partisans fell within the range of tactics used by Union commanders faced with irregular fighters in other areas and within the bounds of the laws of war as articulated by the Union high command. Burbridge jailed, banished, and harassed those who expressed anti-Lincoln, anti-war, or pro-Confederate political sympathies. Most importantly, however, he oversaw and sped along the destruction of slavery by administering the recruitment and enlistment of enslaved people as soldiers. This reassessment illuminates how Burbridge--as a Kentuckian and the local architect of the destruction of slavery--became the scapegoat for white Kentuckians, including many in the Unionist political elite, who were unshakably opposed to emancipation. Beyond successfully recalibrating history's understanding of Burbridge, Asher's biography adds administrative and military context to the state's reaction to emancipation and sheds new light on its postwar pro-Confederacy shift"--Provided by publisher.Generalsfast(OCoLC)fst00939841GeneralsUnited StatesBiographyUnited StatesfastKentuckyfastUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865BiographyKentuckyHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865BiographyHistory.Biographies.Generals.Generals973.73092Asher Brad1963-1801452MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910955377703321The Most Hated Man in Kentucky4346699UNINA
