  • The Civil War in Fairfax County, Virginia the Civil War in Fairfax County, Virginia Was the Most Divisive and Destructive Period in the County’S History
    (ANNE putting in section headings only 9/3) Confidential Draft August 31, 2020 rvsd 9/7/20 The Civil War in Fairfax County, Virginia The Civil War in Fairfax County, Virginia was the most divisive and destructive period in the county’s history. Soon after President Abraham Lincoln was elected President on November 6, 1860. local citizens began holding a series of public meetings at the courthouse to discuss whether Virginia should remain in the Union or secede and join the nascent Confederate States of America. Remain or Secede? Resolutions were adopted to expel pro-Union, anti-slavery men from the county. Several resolutions passed defending slavery. Other resolutions supported arming and funding local militia. The Fairfax Cavalry, under Captain M. D. Ball, and the Fairfax Rifles, under Captain William H. Dulany, drilled and paraded together on the courthouse yard throughout early 1861. Within ten days of Virginia’s vote to secede on May 23, 1861, the first armed conflict occurred in Fairfax County on June 1, in and around the same courthouse grounds where those public debates on secession began. Captain John Quincy Marr of the Warrenton Rifles was killed in the skirmish with Company B, Second U.S. Cavalry. He has been memorialized as the first Confederate officer to die in the Civil War. South Controls Western Half of County Through March 1862 In July, roughly 18,000 soldiers of the Army of Northeastern Virginia under the command of Union General Irvin McDowell advanced through the county. The Federals marched to the Battle of Blackburn’s Ford (July 18) and subsequently the Battle of First Manassas or Bull Run (July 21).

  • Civil War Military Operations in Northern Virginia in May-June 1861
    Civil War Military Operations in Northern Virginia in May-June 1861 By WILLIAM H. PRICE During May-June 186r the military action in northern Virginia was limited to small skirmishes. The secession of Virginia in r86r was followed closely by the appointment of an officer cadre directed by the Governor to recruit and train volunteer companies and regiments throughout the State. Small units of infantry and cavalry began to spring up in the areas bordering the Potomac, and an artillery battery was organized in Alexandria. The activity of these volunteer units and the State Militia, particularly the troops from Alexandria, was a cause for great concern in Washington. The Capital was vulnerable, and though little was known of Southern intentions, the possibility was not ruled out that Virginia troops, by destroying the bridges across the river, could use the Potomac as a defensive barrier and lay siege to the Federal City. Arlington Heights commanded the low terrain on which many of the Gov­ ernment buildings were situated, and even the Capitol would prove easy prey for artillery placed on the Virginia hillside. It was also feared that a few well­ placed batteries below Alexandria could close the Potomac to navigation. Early in May the Federal War Department decided that the Capital City could be protected and its safety insured only if the ground across the Potomac was occupied. This was no simple task, for an adequate force was not avail­ able: the problem of securing communications from the Capital north through hostile Maryland placed a heavy drain on the meager resources at hand.
