Memorial Day was started in the Southern United States after the Civil War. Federal law made it illegal to make any type of monument to honor any deceased Confederate solder. As a result group of women dedicated April 26, 1866, as a day to remember the Confederate dead. April 26, 1865 was the day that General Joseph E. Johnson surrendered all Confederate Armies east of the Mississippi River.
Word of this reached the North. The women in the North thought it an excellent idea. They created Decoration Day on May 31, 1866. On that day as a memorial the women put flowers on the graves of the dead solders.
Later the name was changed from Decoration Day to Memorial Day. The date was changed to the last monday in May.
