They wanted to present them as if they were gods. This was quite common in history and is a reason for example why pharaohs got pyramids built in their honor. The giant heads depicted their leaders as gods or someone who is in general larger than life itself. It was a sign of respect and others who would visit would also see this and know who they are dealing with. Such heads can still be found and examined which is important when trying to understand their ancient culture.

REY [17]

Abraham Lincoln was a Republican until he pointed it out. US president’s improbable claim made during roundtable discussion on Venezuela.

But for Lincoln’s death, there might have been some postwar investigations of the profiteers who supplied the Union Army with lousy war materiel. Soldiers in the field complained about leaky boots, spoiled meat, and biscuits that, when unpacked.

Lincoln abhorred slavery, a position that led him to the Republican Party. Once a Republican, his broader philosophy made its mark on the party. Lincoln was attracted to the party by his unwavering faith in the ideas espoused in the Declaration of Independence, even when faced with civil war. Lincoln was a moderate in a radical party.
