Why I Chose This Topic

• I chose to research the Lincoln Memorial because
  Abraham Lincoln is my favorite president. I
  admire the way he stood up for his principles and
  freed the slaves. I believe that this Memorial is
  well deserved and should stand forever so that
  all people will know who this great man was.
