Despite its status as a national holiday, the origins of what was once known as “Decoration Day” are shrouded in incomplete historical records and the division between the North and the South caused by the Civil War.
The original name for the holiday was inspired when women adorned Confederate soldiers’ gravestones after the Civil War ended, according to USMemorialDay.org. But tensions between the two regions caused the holiday to be stuck in limbo as a national celebration for more than 50 years
Memorial Day was first proclaimed in 1868 when the graves of soldiers buried at Arlington Cemetery in Washington D.C. were decorated. By 1890, all the northern states adopted the holiday, but the South refused and celebrated the dead in their own ways.
