Answer: free African-Americans in Charleston, SC, reburied former Union prisoners of war and held a ceremony dedicating the cemetery to them

Explanation: While the day was meant to honor the men who gave their lives on the battlefield, it was not the origin of the Memorial Day holiday we observe today.

this good enough?
