Why does Abraham Lincoln sit instead of stand in his own memorial?

My teacher wanted me to research whether there was a specific reason as to why Lincoln sits in the Lincoln Memorial, but Jefferson stands in the Jefferson memorial. I have had no such luck, so any help would be appreciated!|||The main influence on the style of the Lincoln Memorial was the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, Greece. The focus of the memorial is Daniel Chester Frence's sculpture of Lincoln, seated on a throne. French studied many of Mathew Brady's photographs of Lincoln and depicted the President as worn and pensive, gazing eastwards down the Reflecting Pool toward the capital's starkest emblem of the Union, the Washington Monument. Beneath his hands, the Roman fasces, symbols of the authority of the Republic, are sculpted in relief on the seat. The statue stands 19 feet 9 inches (6 m) tall and 19 feet (6 m) wide, and was carved from 28 blocks of white Georgia marble.|||I seem to recall that the artist wanted to depict Lincoln in a pose that showed him as both thoughtful and weary.|||Be a long time to stand don't ya think? He was thinking and he did his best thinking sitting down.|||Lincoln was very tired after the Civil War.|||maybe bc he was sitting when he got shot by booth.

What are some issues that Abe Lincoln faced during his presidentcy?

how did Lincoln deal with these issues and how did these issues make him feel?|||Probably one of the biggest and most well known issue is slavery. Although, Lincoln wasn't necessarily against or for slavery, he wanted to "perserve the union" as he put it in a letter to Horace Greeley. He dealt with this with the emancipation proclamation, which freed slaves in any area not under the union's control (confederate state's). So slavery was essentially done away with for most states, since most union states were against slavery, and the confederate states had slavery absolished. The thirteenth amendment would later fully abolish slavery for the entire US and make it illegal.





As bad advice as this may sound, you may want to check out the wikipedia page on Lincoln. It has a ton of information about Lincoln on it that you can use to get ideas and do further reasearch on (away from wikipedia, as it isn't really considered an acceptable source). Good luck!|||the biggest issue he had to deal with was his death, I'm sure it did not make him feel good|||civil war, slavery, and i don't know how they made him feel... he's dead! look in a history book
