This is true, but lincoln spent more than half his life living in Illinois, his military service was with the illinois militia, he was a US congressman representing a district of Illinois, his memorial is in illinois. If we can't claim him for illinois, no one can.
It should be 1865 feet tall. A better year for the remembrance of Lincoln.
