Lincoln Memorial

The Gettysburg Address

Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president.

It's still only one cent. This is NOT a mint error.

Washington D.C. is the capital city of the United States. The Lincoln Memorial is located in Washington D.C.

The 16th US President, Abraham Lincoln, is honored through the Lincoln Memorial. A full set of photos can be seen at Related Link.

On August 28,1963 the reverend Martin Luther King Jr. led a great peaceful march for cvil rights to Washington D.C.:there were about 250.000 people.It was the most famous "march for freedom".There was no violent action,all were praying and singing and listening to their leader.

The United States owes a great deal to the efforts of US President Abraham Lincoln. At his time and during the US Civil War, no one could have predicted that a reunified Union would become a major player in world events.

Lincoln's vision and main goal was to keep the Union intact and bring the Confederacy back into the USA. While it's true that the unthinkable losses of human life did happen, it was never seen as such until it was too late.

Part of winning the Civil War was the end of slavery in the USA. Economics tells us that slavery would by economic necessity have died out on its own. But it's still clear that Lincoln wanted to unite the nation and the slavery issue would be settled faster of the North won.

Lincoln was the first US President to be assassinated. It happened because of his stand to unite the Union. His memorial is a huge and important monument in Washington DC.

Some believe he deserves all the accolades he has received based on his Emancipation Proclamation, history tells us that his accolades are due more to his victory in the Civil War. The Proclamation freed no slaves... and slavery existed in Union states until after the war.

I summary, Lincoln's memorial will remain important as it honors a brave man and is a monument that says, never give up and do the right thing.

The story that anyone's head was carved into the back of Lincoln's head at the Lincoln Memorial is completely and utterly false.

I believe Lincoln had a photogenic memory . He would read a book on war and engagements then go out and win the meeting the armies would plan against the south. Anything he needed to know he went to books then he would incorporate exactly what he read into his actions. Therefore based on that its IMO he did have one. Thank You

because it was made for george washington

He was originally part of the Whig party, but when the Whigs fell apart, Lincoln joined the newly formed Republican party. He was the first Republican President.

The answer is in the name.....a great president called Lincoln

There is no face on the back of the Lincoln statue at his memorial. It is completely false that one exists.
