Lincoln Memorial
Abraham Lincoln holds a unique place in the history of
the United States: not only did he save the Union, he
reinvigorated the nation’s founding principle — that all
men are created equal. The campaign to erect a fitting
memorial in his name began even as he lay on his
deathbed in 1865. It would eventually be completed 57
years later, after decades of disagreements over what
type of monument to build and where it should be placed.
[ In this temple
as in the hearts of the people
for whom he saved the Union
the memory of Abraham Lincoln
is enshrined forever. ]
