---Left: George Washing-ton and Thomas Jefferson. Washing-ton was chosen because he was the commander of the revolutionary Army and the first U.S. President - the "Father of our Country". Jefferson was chosen because he was the author of the Declaration of Independence, out third President, and the mastermind of the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of our country. ---Right: Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President, who promoted construction of the Panama Canal and ignited progressive causes such as conservation and economic reform - the "trust buster". And Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President, whose leadership restored the Union and ended slavery on U.S. soil.
