## Resource

The American flag at the White House wasn’t always there—it became a daily fixture only in 1970 under President Nixon. Its journey began during the Civil War, when Lincoln raised it to symbolize national unity. Over time, it evolved into a tool of national mourning, notably during the deaths of Grant and Roosevelt, and now serves as both a patriotic emblem and a diplomatic gesture, even being presented to outgoing presidents as a lasting memento of their service.
