WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO VISIT THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL?
People should visit the Lincoln Memorial, not just because of its beautiful interior and exterior design, with 36 marble columns, but because the memorial represents Abraham Lincoln's belief in the freedom and dignity of all people. The memorial also represents Abraham Lincoln to be humble, brave and the most splendid president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln was known for his strength and compassionate nature, and Daniel Chester French compelled these characteristics by having one of Lincoln's hand in a fist to represent his strength and determination through the war. Lincoln's other hand is shown to be more relaxed and open in order to show his compassionate and friendly nature. The Lincoln Memorial shows Abraham Lincoln sitting on a chair looking out to the reflecting pool, yet by just this you can tell that Abraham Lincoln has done a lot for our country and has achieved what he wanted to achieve during his lifetime. By visiting the Lincoln Memorial, you'll be able to understand more about Abraham Lincoln; how he acted, what he was like, and his strong nature. Not just that he was one of the 44 presidents of the United States!
