    Monumental: In Search of America's National Treasure (2012)

    Gives us a clear view of how the early founders of our country thought.

    Whether we portray the uprising of the gladiators in Spartacus or in The Gladiator, or in the French Revolution we observe that none of these revolts resulted in lasting liberty.

    Those in revolt had no higher law (God’s Law) to appeal and no system to put in place to keep one of their own from rising to enslave the people.

    The largest figure, Faith, is 36 feet tall and weighs 180 tons by itself. Faith, holding a Bible, stands atop a granite column facing toward Plymouth Harbor and England.

    The eight-sided column features four buttresses with seated 15-foot-tall allegorical figures.

    The north face features a representation of Morality, a woman holding a tablet bearing the beginning of the Ten Commandments, “I am the Lord thy God.”

    The west face depicts Law, a man holding a book. Law is flanked by smaller figures depicting justice and mercy.

    The east face features a representation of Liberty, a seated warrior with a sword in his right arm and a broken chain in his left. He is flanked by depictions of peace and tyranny, symbolizing the defeat of tyranny and the resulting peace.

    Education graces the south face with a woman pointing to a book in her lap. Representations of wisdom and youth flank Education’s throne.
