Mills's Lincoln monument featured multiple tiers and 36 bronze statues depicting scenes related to war, justice, and liberty. Rising above the war and politics rested a statue of Lincoln, seated, writing the Emancipation Proclamation. Mills's monument was never built, because financial problems and political disputes plagued the project from its earliest days.

Budget problems had halted construction in 1854. But after sitting untouched for more than 20 years many worried that a new design was needed for the monument.
