The granite base features four bronze plaques depicting a laurel wreath and crossed swords (east), crossed American flags (west), the Seal of the City of Philadelphia (north), and the Great Seal of the United States (south).The middle section features the monument’s dedication inscription and quotations from the Emancipation Proclamation, Gettysburg Address, and Second Inaugural Address.
