The faces carved into Mount Rushmore represent four significant U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Each was chosen for their pivotal roles in shaping American history: Washington as the nation's founding father, Jefferson for the Declaration of Independence, Roosevelt for his contributions to conservation and the progressive movement, and Lincoln for preserving the Union during the Civil War. The monument symbolizes the nation's ideals of freedom and democracy.
