Abraham Lincoln: The Man, A Magnificent Statue In Lincoln Park, Chicago
My trip to Peacefest gave me a chance to explore Lincoln Park. Even though I've lived here all my life I haven't spent a lot of time in this lakeside gem. The first thing I saw upon entering the park from North Ave. was this gorgeous bronze statue of Lincoln the work of renowed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It sets in this impressive pedastle designed by Stanford White. It was dedicated in 1889,

Abraham Lincoln Monument Old Calton Burial Ground Edinburgh Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the Abraham Lincoln monument on ancestry visit to Old Calton Burial Ground in Edinburgh. This is the Scottish, American Soldiers Monument which depicts a standing figure of Abraham Lincoln, with a freed slave giving thanks at his feet. A bronze shield bears the old USA flag, and is wreathed in thistles to the left, and cotton to the right. Two regimental flags lay furled, the battle being over. The black man holds a book, indicating that he is not only free, he is also now educated. This was the first statue to an American President in any country outside the USA. It is the only statue of Lincoln in Scotland, and the only monument to the American Civil War outside the USA. The monument was erected at American expense to a small group of Scots, only one of whom, William Duff, is buried under the monument, the rest being nearby, to whom it felt indebted, and wished their graves to be marked, despite their later poverty. They had all fought for the Union in the American Civil War. The inscription, To preserve the jewel of liberty in the framework of Freedom is a quotation from the writings of Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln Memorial At Soldiers Walk Memorial Park
This is one of the first Memorials you'll see at the park depicting Abraham Lincoln and The Civil War
(February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War—its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional and political crisis. In so doing he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the national government and modernized the economy.
Reared in a poor family on the western frontier, Lincoln was a self-educated lawyer in Illinois, a Whig Party leader, state legislator during the 1830s, and a one-term member of the Congress during the 1840s. He promoted rapid modernization of the economy through banks, canals, railroads and tariffs to encourage the building of factories; he opposed the war with Mexico in 1846. After a series of highly publicized debates in 1858 during which he opposed the expansion of slavery, Lincoln lost the U.S. Senate race to his archrival, Democrat Stephen A. Douglas. Lincoln, a moderate from a swing state, secured theRepublican Party presidential nomination in 1860. With almost no support in the South, Lincoln swept the North and was elected president in 1860. His election prompted seven southern slave states to form the Confederacy. No compromise or reconciliation was found regarding slavery.
