The Presidents' Mountain
Mount Rushmore was chosen for this sculpture because of its grand location as well as quality granite.
The main reasons why each of the four presidents was chosen were:
- George Wahington was the first president, he also represented the foundation of American democracy.
- Thomas Jefferson greatly expanded the nation with the Louisiana Purchase plus he was the author of the hugely influential Declaration of Independence.
- Theodore Roosevelt didn't only represent the industrial development of the nation but also widely known for his conversation efforts.
- As the president during the US Civil War, Abraham Lincoln represented the preservation of the nation above all costs.
Their faces appear in the same order.
