The people on the receiving end of these actions were mostly fellow Unionists who found the decision to enlist black troops—and the entire emancipationist turn of war policy—repugnant. They rallied white Kentuckians to oppose the decision, petitioned the Administration to suspend it, and campaigned for George McClellan when it became evident that Lincoln was not listening. Burbridge treated such critics harshly. Emancipation changed the nature of what it meant to be loyal to the Union, and Burbridge enforced the new definition rigorously.","PeriodicalId":356541,"journal":{"name":"The Most Hated Man in Kentucky","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127877309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He implemented the Lincoln administration’s decision to enroll and enlist black troops, which directly attacked slavery in Kentucky since slaves gained their freedom by serving as soldiers.

This is why the historical context of his actions is so important to understand. Much of the opposition to Burbridge—during the war and afterward—stemmed from white Kentuckians’ opposition to emancipation. His enemies couched their opposition in the language of individual rights, but it was an understanding of rights that excluded African Americans. Burbridge was charged with bringing a new understanding of freedom to Kentucky. He tried to do so, taking measures to control Kentuckians’ growing opposition to the changed aims of the war. In doing so, he earned the unbounded loathing of his contemporaries and the unmerited scorn of historians.","PeriodicalId":356541,"journal":{"name":"The Most Hated Man in Kentucky","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131327288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
