What is the easiest route to the Washington Monument and Abraham Lincoln Memorial Center from Arlington, VA?
That is by riding the Metro from Ballston station, should I ride til the Smithsonian Station or get off at L’Enfant?

Answer by DON W
The Smithsonian station is the closest. Just get on the Orange line train at Ballston and get off at Smithsonian. Take the exit marked for the Smithsonian and when you emerge from the escalator you’ll see the Washington Monument just off to the left. From there, you can easily walk down the National Mall to the Lincoln Memorial.

Abraham Lincoln caused the Death of more Americans than any other president. Why do we have a monument to him?

And, because of the draft, I’m sure half the soldiers of the Union, didn’t even want to fight.
Now, I’m not pro-slavery or anything, but his freeing of the slaves was illegal.

(great name by the way). You said most of it. And the other guy, “covered up with lies”.

Answer by nadadime
Lincoln freed the slaves. He kept our country together when the south tried to secede from the union.

Of course there were many soldiers who did not want to fight (on both sides of the war).

However, there were many who volunteered to go into battle. Often they lied about their age just so they could join up. There were also several cases of women who pretended to be males so they could join.

Edit: I am curious to know just how the freeing of the slaves was illegal and by who’s definition?

Answer by harlin42
Lincoln did not free the slaves The war did.
Because we do not know the real about Abe.
Anyway most of the truth is covered up with lies.

Answer by Telemachus R
Its a valid question. There was no unanimity at the time about Lincoln’s greatness. There were great draft riots in New York and Detroit. Many northerners hated and resented the need for his Grand Army of the Republic (much like senator Palpatine’s incidentally). He was certainly no plaster saint. He suspended the writ of Habeus Corpus and otherwise trampled the constitution in order to save it.

Yet he was a great man. And a tragic figure. The lives he snuffed, the rights he rescinded, the war he fought and the slaves he freed,made us undeniably one people and the nation we know today. For good and ill. His life and his souls sacrifice for the ideals of federal representative democracy place him in the pantheon of great men. And great men get monuments. Thats how it is.
