Best Answer

The four Presidents depicted on Mount Rushmore were chosen by the head sculptor for the monument, Gutzon Borglum, for their key roles in the development of the United States.

Abraham Lincoln was chosen because he held the nation together during its greatest trial, the Civil War. Lincoln believed his most sacred duty was the preservation of the union. It was his firm conviction that slavery must be abolished.
