Lincoln Memorial

Spent a day going around to several of the memorials, including the Lincoln Memorial, Ford’s Theater, and the Pearson House (where Lincoln died).  Ginger has been reading aloud the book “Killing Lincoln”, which has been giving us a good background and perspective.

It has been interesting that at Williamsburg and at the Lincoln Memorial, the guides have been pointing out that things were not as cut and dry about the Revolution and the forming of our nation as was taught in school. Like we really fought for independence from the King of England, and not because our taxes got worse.
