Nebraska State Capitol | Lesson 3: Session 2: Civic Impact: Honoring Our Heroes
Abraham Lincoln is best known for his policies on abolishing slavery and his belief in self-government. He took his job as president very seriously. The night he knew he’d won the election he later said, “I went home, but not to get much sleep, for I then felt as I never had before, the responsibility that was upon me.” This poster chronicles the life of Abraham Lincoln, his civic contributions, work and tributes to the president.
