1865 Johnson Review Washington
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the Grand Review of the Union Army before President Andrew Johnson in Washington, D.C. on May 23, 1865. The end of the American Civil War was just a month old, and the victorious Union Army, numbering over 120,000 soldiers, gathered to receive recognition from their commander-in-chief. The grand review was an important morale-boosting event, marking the end of the long and arduous conflict that had torn the nation apart. President Johnson, who had assumed the presidency following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, stood at the reviewing stand located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and 15th Street. The soldiers, dressed in their finest uniforms, marched in formation before him, proudly displaying their battle-hardened regiments. The scene was one of jubilation and triumph, a testament to the resilience and determination of the Union Army. The Grand Review was an essential part of the healing process following the Civil War. It brought together the soldiers and their families, as well as citizens of Washington, D.C., to celebrate the Union's victory and the reunification of the country. The event also served as an opportunity for the government to assess the military's readiness for future conflicts and to plan for demobilization. This engraving, created by ILN, is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the grandeur and significance of the Grand Review of the Union Army. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Civil War and the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity.
