Note: The Grand Review of the Armies on May 23–24, 1865, was a massive military parade in Washington, D.C., celebrating the Union victory in the Civil War. On May 24, General William T. Sherman’s Army of the Tennessee and Army of Georgia marched through the capital, following the Army of the Potomac’s procession the day before. Watched by President Andrew Johnson, General Ulysses S. Grant, and thousands of spectators, the event honored Union soldiers’ service and symbolized the war’s end and the beginning of national reconstruction. It was a powerful display of unity, strength, and transition to peace.
