Mount Rushmore: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt.

The four presidents on Mount Rushmore were chosen by the sculptor to highlight the founding, growth, preservation and development of the US. 


George Washington is there to symbolize the struggle for independence and the birth of the our nation.

Thomas Jefferson represents the territorial expansion of the US. 


Abraham Lincoln represents the permanent union and the equality of all citizens. 
And Teddy Roosevelt is there to represent the role of the US in the 20th century.
