Widely celebrated, the urban National Guard attained a symbolic status as a multi-social citizen force deeply committed to the defense of liberty and republican institutions. In this paper, its participation in the main military campaigns of the time (siege of Buenos Aires, Cepeda, Pavón) is analyzed, especially in light of Bartolome Mitre´s -the greatest promoter of the urban militia´s heroic mystique- claims about the moral and political risks its use in combat entailed, as well as about the precautions he supposedly took to protect it in battle. La Guardia Nacional de la ciudad de Buenos Aires constituyó un poderoso referente identitario para la dirigencia política y la opinión pública porteñas en los años en que la provincia estuvo separada de la Confederación (1852-1861). Ampliamente celebrada, la Guardia Nacional urbana adquirió el rol simbólico de una fuerza ciudadana multisocial comprometida con la defensa de la libertad y las instituciones. En este trabajo se revisa su participación en las principales campañas bélicas de la época (sitio de Buenos Aires, Cepeda, Pavón), especialmente a la luz de afirmaciones que Bartolomé Mitre, máximo promotor de la mística heroica de la milicia urbana, hiciese respecto al riesgo moral y político que su empleo acarreaba, así como sobre las precauciones supuestamente por él tomadas para evitar su sacrificio en batalla. application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/14209 10.34096/hyg.n6.14209 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/14209/13038 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/historiayguerra/article/view/14209/13069 Derechos de autor 2024 Juan Bautista Leoni https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 Historia & Guerra; No 6 (2024): Julio-Diciembre; 70-92 Historia & Guerra; Núm. 6 (2024): Julio-Diciembre; 70-92 2796-8650 National Guard Buenos Aires Military performance Bartolomé Mitre Guardia Nacional Buenos Aires Desempeño militar Bartolomé Mitre Between “blood tribute” and “cheap glory”: military performance of the National Guard of the city of Buenos Aires in the military campaigns against the Confederation (1852-1861) Entre “contingente de sangre” y “gloria barata”: desempeño militar de la Guardia Nacional de la ciudad de Buenos Aires en las campañas militares contra la Confederación (1852-1861) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos Articles Artigos https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=histogue&d=14209_oai
