The Lincoln Memorial honors President Lincoln. The Washington Memorial honors President Washington. Mount Rushmore honors presidents also. There are four presidents carved there. They are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
A memorial--ANY memorial--begins as a concept to honor one person, a group of persons, or an event (for example: The Vietnam Wall of soldiers' names). People believed President Lincoln was a fantastic man, intelligent President, and great Orator, so they worked toward building a memorial in his honor. Not every famous person is elevated in honor to receive a memorial.
What is the Lincoln Memorial? The Lincoln Memorial is a national monument built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who played a crucial role in the abolition of slavery through the Emancipation Proclamation. Located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., the memorial features a large statue of Lincoln seated in contemplation, surrounded by inscriptions of his famous speeches, including the Gettysburg Address. The design of the memorial by architect Henry Bacon is inspired by classical Greek temples, symbolizing the enduring legacy of Lincoln's leadership and his impact on American history.
