EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the grand review of the United States Army, held in Washington, District of Columbia on May 23, 1865. The end of the American Civil War was just weeks away, and President Abraham Lincoln wanted to showcase the strength and unity of the military forces that had played a crucial role in bringing the nation back from the brink of destruction. The scene unfolds before us on the parade ground of the Capitol, with a sea of soldiers, horses, and military equipment stretching as far as the eye can see. The troops, dressed in their finest uniforms, stand at attention, their weapons at the ready. In the foreground, a group of officers on horseback survey the scene, their expressions a mix of pride and determination. The grand review was an opportunity for the public to witness the might of the military machine that had fought to preserve the Union. It was also a moment of celebration and reflection, as the nation prepared to move forward from the devastating effects of the Civil War. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict, and the unity and resilience of the American people. The grand review marked the end of an era, and the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the United States.
