Abraham Lincoln grew a beard because an 11 year old girl wrote him and suggested it. She wrote that he would look better with a beard and it would encourage women to influence their husbands to vote for him.
Yes. He started growing his beard sometime in fall of 1860 and was fully bearded when he first took office in March of 1861. He was prompted to grow a beard by a letter he got from a little girl. ( see the related link.)
Abraham Lincoln, who was already the president of the U.S.A , was told by a very young girl that he would look very much smarter if he grew a beard. And this shows how humble he was . And he grew a beard till he was shot. Adding, the name of the young girl was Grace Bedell....
a beard
From my understanding, Abe Lincoln DID have a beard when he was elected president. Some historians say that Lincoln was persuaded to grow a beard, stating that it would give him a competitive campaign edge. Lincoln was told that it would be good for his image. Apparently it worked. He was elected.
