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"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aGenerals$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00939841 606 $aGenerals$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aKentucky$2fast 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$vBiography 607 $aKentucky$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$vBiography 608 $aHistory. 608 $aBiographies. 615 7$aGenerals. 615 0$aGenerals 676 $a973.73092 700 $aAsher$b Brad$f1963-$01801452 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955377703321 996 $aThe Most Hated Man in Kentucky$94346699 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02753nam 2200373 450 001 996681176503316 005 20251014105923.0 010 $a978-88-498-8553-8$b(Inferno) 010 $a978-88-498-8667-2$b(Purgatorio) 010 $a978-88-498-8603-0$b(Paradiso) 100 $a20251014d2025----km y0itay5003 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $ay 00 y 200 1 $aDivina Commedia$fDante Alighieri$gcon il commento di Mario Aversano 210 $aSoveria Mannelli$cRubbettino$d2025 215 $a3 volumi (1194; 964; 1211 p.)$d24 cm 327 1 $aInferno$aPurgatorio$aParadiso 330 $aIn oltre mezzo secolo di studi Mario Aversano ha maturato, sulle orme di Dante, una profonda conoscenza biblico-patrologica e dei classici antichi. Unitamente a una geniale e coriacea acribia, riversata nella sistematica analisi statistico-strutturale delle ricorrenze, ciò gli ha consentito di cogliere organicamente le connessioni intra- ed inter-testuali della Commedia e di introdurre una nuova prospettiva esegetica, rivelatrice di significati fin qui nascosti o incompresi di interi canti, singoli versi, specifici lemmi. In definitiva, del Poema tout court. La proposta metodologica di questo ?Gran Commento?, applicata dall?Autore in quanto «semiosi obbligata», porta così a una rivoluzione copernicana nell?interpretazione della poesia e della poetica dell?exul inmeritus: un toccante Galateo della Pace che, attraverso la Conversione individuale e universale, istituisce una Teologia politica indirizzata a rifondare il rapporto tra Cultura (competenza, sapienza, onestà operose) e Potere politico-economico (Papato e Impero), nell?idea di predisporre l?unico salvifico planning per la Famiglia umana, strettamente scortato da quel giusto «Consiglio» che fu tanta parte della biografia dantesca. Ne è conferma allegorico-escatologica l?Affresco lorenzettiano del ?Buon Governo? (contrapposto al ?Cattivo?), laddove il Poeta, fisionomicamente quasi divino ad onta del suo tremendo ?vissuto? (vd. particolare in copertina), capeggia una ?cordata politica?, espressione della divina Giustizia, applicata attraverso la Concordia e diretta ai governanti (la figura del Vecchio Monarca).
