12 Days of Lincoln
Day 12 — Second Inaugural

Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address may be his greatest speech. Delivered in March 1865 as the Civil War neared its end, its famous line

“With malice toward none; with charity for all”

emphasized reconciliation over triumph.

Day 11 — The Lincoln Cent

In 1909, on the centennial of Lincoln’s birth, the U.S. replaced the Indian Head Cent with the Lincoln Cent — the first circulating coin to feature a real person. 117 years later, its obverse design hasn’t changed.

12 Days of Lincoln
Day 10 — Places Named Lincoln

Only one town named “Lincoln” existed during his lifetime — Lincoln, Illinois. In the 1850s, Abraham Lincoln helped design the town, practiced law there, and helped shape its future.

All others were named for him after his death.

12 Days of Lincoln
Day 9 — Lincoln’s Height

In the 1850s, the average American man stood about 5’ 7”.

At 6’ 4”, Lincoln physically towered over his contemporaries — including Stephen Douglas, who stood a full foot shorter. The contrast became part of his legend.

Day 8 — Lincoln’s Beard

In 1860, an 11-year-old girl wrote Lincoln suggesting he grow a beard to soften his appearance. After the election, he did just that! When his train passed through Grace’s town in 1861, he met her and credited her suggestion.

At the Second Bull Run, Union leaders fell into the trap of confirmation bias. Overconfidence in their strategy blinded them to Confederate maneuvers, leading to a decisive defeat.

Day 7 — Lincoln’s Speaking Voice (Part 2)

We’ll never hear Lincoln’s real voice, but using historical descriptions, I conducted a thought experiment using ElevenLabs speech synthesis technology. The result was far less strange than expected:

Day 6 — Lincoln’s Speaking Voice (Part 1)

Lincoln’s voice was high-pitched and reedy — not the booming baritone we imagine. But it carried across crowds and proved remarkably effective once listeners adjusted.

Tomorrow: a voice reconstruction experiment.
