Remembrance

Remembrance was a popular political and cultural ideology in the United States from the end of the Second Mexican War to the Great War. Remembrance was characterized by intense revanchism against the Confederate States, militarism and authoritarianism, and strengthening ties with the German Empire. Despite much of this culture, immigration continued to flourish to the United States.

The most prominent symbol of Remembrance within the United States is the Statue of Remembrance on Bedloe Island, New Jersey. Constructed shortly after the Second Mexican War, the statue depicts a large crowned woman holding a "Sword of Vengeance." As a massive, martial image, it was the first sight of immigrants entering the United States.

Remembrance faded from politics after the Central Powers victory in the Great War. An equivalent to Remembrance began to grow within the Confederacy, resulting in groups such as the Freedom Party led by Jake Featherston. Remembrance was also used on occasion by Canadian rebels throughout the interwar period.
