Lincoln’s Beard Was a Marketing Move (Seriously) #history #shorts

A little girl once wrote to Abraham Lincoln suggesting he grow a beard… so he did.
And just like that, one letter sparked one of history’s greatest image makeovers.
The beard made him look older, wiser, and more presidential—perfect for a nation on the brink of civil war.
Call it a glow-up. We call it branding.
And yes, it probably helped him win the election. 🧔🇺🇸
