1945 was the year that World War II began to conclude
it had begun not only with the "Battle of Britain" in the months
of April '40 and the Pearl Harbor Attack of 7 Dec. 1941
another very sad date during 1945 was the death of POTUS
Franklin D. Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Georgia
The Civil War (1861 - 1865) was ending with the
surrender of the CSA General Robert E. Lee to the Union
Forces headed by Lincoln's head General Ulysses Simpson
Grant at Appomattox, Virginia --
Lincoln was assassinated by deranged actor J.W. Booth at
Ford's Theater, District of Columbia and he died nearby;
he now belongs "to the ages" as his Secy. of State declared!
The era of post-Civil War "Reconstruction" had begun
during Lincoln's final days and on through the Andrew
Johnson Administration and the 8 yrs. for POTUS Grant.
