Remembrance (Political Ideology)

Remembrance is a political and sometime cultural movement that emerged in the U.S from the defeat in the War of Secession and (arguably) peaked from Second Mexican War till the end of the Great War. It is characterised by heavy revanchism agaist the C.S.A, militarism, strong ties with the German Empire and anti-immigration sentiments. One of the outward mainfestations of this is the way the U.S. flag is flown upside down on Remembrance Day in the years between the War of Secession and the Great War, which is generally understood to be a signal of distress.
