Daily 2- Week 3

Give several examples of monuments in Maryland / DC / PA that might be familiar to folks who live here but which would not be understood by outsiders without an explanation. Please include your own or public domain photos.


This is a monument that shows all the battles Maryland has been involved in. The many people that would visit this monument & would read it, would recognize more than half of the battles that are stated. But, people that are not from Maryland, or the U.S. at all, most likely wouldn't recognize these battles because they haven't specifically learned about them like the children in Maryland do.












This is a monument for the state of Maryland located in Gettysburg. This monument might not be recognized by out of state people because they might not realize the importance of the Civil War and who was involved.














The Francis Scott Key monument is located in Baltimore. This might not be recognized by out of state people because they don't realize the importance of Francis Scott Key to Baltimore. Francis Scott Key originated from Baltimore, and he wrote the Star Spangled Banner in the Baltimore harbor.













The monument of Abraham Lincoln is located in Washington, D.C. This monument might not be recognized from people out of the country because they might not be aware that Lincoln was one of the most important presidents in American History. He freed the slaves and pulled our country together as one.













This is a picture of the White House, in Washington, D.C. Many people from out of the country might not understand this because they aren't aware of how our government works/where the president lives/ how important the president is.
