Would Lincoln have liked this? Do you like it?

Absolutely, Maddie. For a very interesting read, I recommend: Abraham Lincoln In The Post-Heroic Era. Also, the book Lincoln In American Memory by Merrill D. Peterson. Both books look at how Lincoln has been viewed by the generations after him. Even statues say something about what is thought of Lincoln. I have found some extremes in how sculptors portray him-whether it be a divine-like figure adorning the outside of a church-or the gigantic Lincoln of the Lincoln Memorial-or the sitting and inviting Lincoln of the statue by Gutzon Borglum in Newark, New Jersey- they all say something about what people think of him.
