AI notes: On March 6, 1865, New York City hosted a massive celebration to honor recent Union victories in the Civil War, drawing over a million spectators to the streets of Manhattan. Originally planned for March 4 to coincide with Abraham Lincoln’s second inauguration, the parade had been postponed due to bad weather. The procession featured a striking combination of military units, volunteer fire companies, civic organizations, and even exotic animals like elephants and camels, while companies such as Singer Sewing Machine highlighted their contributions to the war effort. The parade wound through Broadway, past City Hall, and culminated in a large mass meeting at Union Square, where speakers celebrated the anticipated end of the conflict and praised the city’s crucial role in supporting the Union. The event served as both a public demonstration of patriotism and a moment of relief and joy as the nation approached the final stages of the war, leaving a lasting impression of civic pride and national unity.
