Alexandria At War With ( Madeline Feierstein )
Episode One: The Invasion of Alexandria
In the first episode of Alexandria at War, produced by the American Civil War & UK History podcast, host Daz is joined by historian Madeline Feierstein to explore the Union occupation of Alexandria, Virginia, and its significance in the early days of the American Civil War.
Alexandria, Virginia was captured by Union forces on 24 May 1861, shortly after Virginia seceded. Its location near Washington, D.C., made it strategically important. The city was taken with little resistance, though Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth was killed during the occupation. Alexandria remained under Union occupation for most of the conflict, serving as a major logistical, medical, and supply hub, with numerous hospitals established to care for wounded soldiers. The capture helped ensure the security of Washington, D.C., throughout the war.
