RE: Trivial Trivia - taking trivia to new levels
It appears I've stumped the Forum! The one sculpture that I am aware of (there may be others) that fearures Lincoln holding a weapon is found inside the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Cleveland, Ohio. Lincoln is shown handing a rifle over to a freed slave. In Lincoln's other hand is the loosened shackles from the slave. The symbolism meaning, if course, that Lincoln freed the slave and made it so that the slave could serve to fight for freedom in the military.
