The second mask showed half of his face was drooping lower than the other side. They theorized that he knew he was sick but didn't want the public to find out, so he grew a beard to cover it up. Was he sick? Or was it just the toll of the immense amount of stress from the Civil War and fighting to keep the country whole?</p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever it was we will probably never known for sure, as they won't allow anyone to open his tomb.
