Grand Army of the Republic Grand Review in Washington
A vivid account recalls the May 24 1865 grand review of Union armies in Washington under General Grant. Veterans from Potomac Army and Mississippi division marched past Capitol avenues as thousands watched, tears flowing and songs echoed. The event marked a national turning point after Civil War hostilities, with Lincoln's assassination a mere month prior. Grant later disbanded the army, praising soldiers for preserving the Union and abolishing slavery.
