Send us a text Episode Two: Crime in an Occupied City In this episode of Alexandria at War, produced by American Civil War & UK History podcast, host Daz is joined by historian Madeline Feierstein of Rooted in Place to examine crime in Alexandria, Virginia, during the Union Army’s occupation of the city. Following Union occupation, Alexandria came under military rule, with a Union governor and provost marshals enforcing order in place of civilian courts. Crime levels fluctuated as war, economic disruption, and the presence of Union troops strained the city. The arrival of large numbers of formerly enslaved people seeking refuge added further pressure on housing and resources and was often, unfairly, linked to crime. To maintain control, Union authorities imposed new regulations such as curfews, travel passes, and loyalty oaths, reshaping daily life in occupied Alexandria.

Send us a text World War I: Feeding the British Army With ( Pete's Living History ) On this episode of the American Civil War & UK History podcast, host Daz is joined by living historian Pete Neal of the TikTok page Pete’s Living History to explore how the British Army was fed during the First World War. Feeding the British Army in the First World War was a logistical struggle as much as a necessity. Soldiers relied on basic, calorie-rich rations such as bully beef, biscuits, bread, jam, tea, and tinned vegetables, with hot meals from field kitchens when supplies reached the line. Disruptions caused by mud, shellfire, and the German blockade often reduced these comforts, leaving men with cold, repetitive fare like Maconochie stew or pea soup, sometimes made with horsemeat. In these conditions, parcels from home and the daily rum ration played an important role in sustaining morale as well as bodies.

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.

Send us a text The Trent Affair With (Chris Lean) In this episode of the American Civil War & UK History podcast, host Daz was joined by fellow reenactor Chris Lean to discuss the Trent Affair. The Trent Affair(1861) was a diplomatic crisis during the American Civil War between the United States and Great Britain. A U.S. Navy ship, the USS San Jacinto, stopped the British mail steamer RMS Trent and captured two Confederate envoys, James Mason and John Slidell, who were on their way to Europe to seek support for the Confederacy. Britain, viewing this as a violation of its neutrality and an affront to its flag, protested angrily and demanded the release of the diplomats. War between the U.S. and Britain seemed possible, but the crisis was defused when President **Abraham Lincoln** released Mason and Slidell, stating that the Union could not afford to fight two wars at once.
