In early September 1861, less than five months after Fort Sumter, and little more than six weeks after the battle itself, the Confederate soldiers of the 8th Georgia Infantry erected the first Civil War battlefield monument, at the site of their victory at Manassas.
The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasnât the anniversary of any particular battle. On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers buried there. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873.
