A sweeping digest of presidential inaugurations from Washington through Cleveland, detailing ceremonial customs, processions, security, and public displays. It covers oath moments, carriage or horseback entries, crowd sizes, and notable anachronisms shaping the era’s political pageantry.
In June 1783 New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the Federal Constitution and sent formal notification on July 2. The Confederation Congress set dates for electors in January, for electors to meet in February, and for Congress to convene in March, though only parts were carried out. George Washington assumed the leading role amid widespread praise.
The report notes Mr. Adams and Mr. Madison dressed in plain black American-made attire. After his inaugural oath he received well wishers and sent his cabinet names to the senate. The day closes the ceremonial presidency and the formative period of American history.
