Mount Rushmore displays the faces of four great American Presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.
These men helped shape what America is today.
George Washington (the first President of the United States) was the Head of the Continental Army of the American Colonies. Because the war was won by the colonists, America is a country, and not a colony of Great Britain.
Thomas Jefferson (the third President of the United States) is best known as the president who more than doubled the size of America with the Louisiana Purchase.
Theodore Roosevelt (the twenty-sixth President of the United States) is best known for his work in preserving America's natural beauty with National Parks.
Abraham Lincoln (the sixteenth President of the United States) is best known as the president who kept the north and south together during the Civil War. He also helped free the African American slave with the Thirteenth Amendment.
Mount Rushmore honors these people and also what they had accomplished during their time as President.
