Bookends Abraham Lincoln and George Washington

The unique set of bookends Abraham Lincoln and George Washington on the theme of the Presidents of the United States of America.

Abraham Lincoln "Honest Abe" and George Washington "The Father of His Country" are two of the most revered presidents in U.S. history, each having played a vital role in the founding and preservation of the nation.

George Washington is often referred to as the "Father of the Nation" due to his role as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American War of Independence and as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. He embodied qualities of leadership and dedication to freedom that set standards for American leaders to come.

Abraham Lincoln, meanwhile, was president during one of the most crucial periods in American history, the Civil War. Elected in 1861, he guided the country through this ordeal and played a decisive role in the abolition of slavery, promulgating the emancipation of slaves in 1863. His Gettysburg Address in 1863 became a symbol of America's commitment to democracy and equality.

Both presidents left lasting legacies and are celebrated annually across the U.S., with President's Day in February to commemorate Washington's birth and Lincoln Day in February to honor Lincoln's birth. Their actions and leadership helped shape the American nation as we know it today.
