The second inauguration of Abraham Lincoln took place on March 4, 1865, and the ball that followed was held in the Capitol's Senate chamber, a setting that the stiff formality of the era made a rare public spectacle. Lincoln was sworn in for a second term only weeks before the Civil War ended, so the evening carried both celebration and the weight of a nation still at war. Crowds of invited guests filled the rooms with music and dancing, a reminder of how the capital marked national milestones with ceremony even in grim times.
