Abraham Inaugurated Inauguration Lincoln Procession Washington
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of Abraham Lincoln's second inauguration as the President of the United States, which took place on March 4, 1865, at the East Portico of the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C. The solemn and grand procession began at the White House, where Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd Lincoln rode in an open carriage, waving to the cheering crowds that had gathered along the route. The inauguration was a significant event in American history, as it marked the midpoint of Lincoln's term and came during a time of great turmoil and division in the country. The Civil War was raging, and the nation was on the brink of reunification. Lincoln's re-election in 1864 was a testament to his leadership and determination to preserve the Union. The photograph shows a sea of people, both civilians and military personnel, gathered to witness the inauguration. The Capitol building is adorned with American flags, and the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. Lincoln, dressed in a black frock coat and top hat, stands solemnly as he takes the oath of office, with Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase administering the oath. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in American history, a moment when a nation came together to reaffirm its commitment to unity and democracy. Lincoln's second inauguration marked the beginning of the end of the Civil War and the start of the process of healing and rebuilding. It is a moment that continues to inspire and resonate with Americans today.
