Synopsis
Go inside the long-forgotten 19th century period when Alexandria left Virginia and incorporated itself into the fledging Distric of Columbia. This groundbreaking history uncovers the time in the 19th century when Alexandria left the commonwealth of Virginia and became incorporated into the emerging District of Columbia. It was an experiment that failed after half a century of neglect and a growing animosity between North and South. However, it was a fascinating time when cannon were dragged onto city streets for political rallies, candidates plied their voters with liquor and devastating fires ravaged the city., The history of Alexandria, D.C., began in 1791 with a gentleman's conspiracy. Political smokescreens and backroom deals involving George Washington set the new capital on both sides of the Potomac. Yet what first seemed an economic boon for the port city descended into an economic quagmire with a judicial vacuum. The streets were rocked by the lawlessness of a dueling mania, devastating fires and a draconian court system that sent petty thieves to the gallows. Author Michael Lee Pope charts this all-but-forgotten history from the incorporation into the District of Columbia and the controversial surrender of the city in the War of 1812 to gangs of retrocessionists that roamed Old Town in 1846 and the rising tensions between north and south that finally returned Alexandria to the commonwealth.
