Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1867 Description An account of the resource In 1867, Congress formed the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/463">Lincoln Monument Association</a> to commission a <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/33">memorial</a> for the late president. They chose this design by sculptor Clark Mills. Mills was known in Washington for designing a <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/412">statue of Andrew Jackson</a> that stands near the White House. Mills's Lincoln monument featured multiple tiers and 36 bronze statues depicting scenes related to war, justice, and liberty. Rising above the war and politics rested a statue of Lincoln, seated, writing the Emancipation Proclamation. Mills's monument was never built, because financial problems and political disputes plagued the project from its earliest days.
