16 May 1868 - US PRESIDENT ANDREW JOHNSON ESCAPES CONVICTION BY ONE
VOTE: Having impeached Andrew Johnson three months earlier, the US
Congress fails to convict the president of 'high crimes and
misdemeanors' stemming from his refusal to go along with Civil War Reconstruction. A Senate trial acquits the first US president ever
impeached of all charges.

The impeachment and trial of Andrew Johnson had important political implications for the balance of federal legislative-executive power. It maintained the principle that Congress should not remove the president
from office simply because its members disagreed with him over policy,
style, and administration of the office. It also resulted in diminished presidential influence on public policy and overall governing power,
fostering a system of governance which future-President Woodrow Wilson
referred to in the 1880s as "Congressional Government".

30 May 1868 - DESIGNATED AS "DECORATION DAY" BY JOHN A. LOGAN: The idea
for Memorial Day (known as Decoration Day in the 1800s) did not arise
with General Logan; he had been inspired by local commemorations of
Civil War dead already being held in pockets throughout the North and
the South, in some cases before the war had even concluded. Logan, in
fact, had delivered the keynote address at an April 29, 1866, Decoration
Day commemoration in Carbondale, Illinois, in which Union Army veterans
paraded in tattered uniforms and spread flowers on cemetery graves.

LoganrCOs wife wrote in her 1913 memoir that she had suggested the holiday after becoming so moved by "the little flags and the withered flowers
that had been laid" on Confederate graves in Petersburg, Virginia.
Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, claims the holiday originated there even
earlier when in 1864 a teenager mourning her Union Army father and a
mother honoring her son who fell at Gettysburg laid flowers on their
graves and began an annual town tradition.

The federal government weighed in on the debate 50 years ago when
President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a May 26, 1966, proclamation that "officially recognized that the patriotic tradition of observing
Memorial Day began one hundred years ago in Waterloo, New York."
