A Grateful Nation by Rod Chase available from Snow Goose Gallery.

 

This painting stands as a memorial to President Abraham Lincoln who said in his Second Annual Address to Congress on December 1, 1862, "In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just - a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless."
