 frican Americans who migrated to Alexandria\, Virginia during the Civil Wa
 r\, while learning more about a number of local families.  Determined to g
 ain their freedom\, thousands of African Americans migrated during the Civ
 il War. Because Alexandria was a Confederate town so close to the capital 
 city of the Union (Washington\, D.C.)\, Northern troops occupied Alexandri
 a using its river port and train line to support the Union Army.  This Sou
 thern town was within Northern military boundaries\, and these African Ame
 ricans made their journey to be free by coming to Alexandria.  \n\nChar Mc

 ric Alexandria's work in identifying descendants of those buried at the ci
