The rise and fall of facial hair in the US?

by [deleted]

I want to get a jump on my friends for No Shave November and I've noticed that facial hair has come and gone in our society. The Civil War for instance was a time period of impeccable facial hair. Just wondering a historian's perspective. Thanks!!!
