Amazing History Lesson!! One of the greatest coincidences ever!!!
Have a history teacher explain this ----- if they can.
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Now it gets really weird...
Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names. Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Now hang on to your seat...
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.' Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here's the kicker...
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.
I've seen these before, and as such usually a lot of errors, as well as truth.
Lincoln used civil Liberties as a way to justify an illegal war, and Kennedy had it thrust upon him during his reign in office.
Lee Harvey Oswald, ther is still sufficient doubts he could have fired those shots, as his marksmanship was extremely low, plus at that range you would have to have been an extremely good shot to do what he is claimed of doing.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe. Opps wrong again... My dad was bangfing her that night, Kennedy was banging her sister....
Lots of coincidences in history and if you look hard enough. As for the last line --I really don't think that is historical fact. But it does make for a good story line.
