President Lincoln Riding Through Richmond, April 4th, 1865, Immediately After the Evacuation of the City by General Lee.

A crowd cheers President Abraham Lincoln as he tours the city of Richmond on April 4, 1865, two days after Confederate general Robert E. Lee ordered the city's evacuation. Lincoln arrived in Richmond after Union forces had taken control, and many African American residents greeted the president with jubilation.
