¹     The Lincoln Memorial stands in Washington, D.C. It is on the National Mall. The memorial honors Abraham Lincoln. He was our sixteenth president. He was president during the Civil War. He also wrote the document that said slaves in the United States were free. He was killed by John Wilkes Booth. He died in 1865. Many people thought Lincoln was a great president. They wanted to honor him after his death.
 
²     A memorial to Lincoln was planned. They started building it almost fifty years after Lincoln died. It opened to the public eight years later. There are 36 columns. This shows the number of states when Lincoln was president. There is a statue of Lincoln. He sits on a chair. Two speeches are carved in the wall behind him. These are some of his most famous speeches. Visitors can climb steps to get a closer look. There is a reflecting pool. It is in front of the memorial.
