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 a child 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."

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 with Marilyn Monroe.

AND...................:

Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse...

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater... ___________________________ I saw this had to share just in case anyone did not know.

DIDNT KNOW WHERE TO PUT THIS, SORRY IF WRONG SECTION.

I don't think it was planned.
Like he said^
It was just a crazy coincidence.
That's interesting though. I guess you do learn something new everyday

While these coincidences are striking upon first glance, they aren't that baffling once you think about the circumstances surrounding their lives, and the math surrounding a presidency.

But Lincoln didn't have a secretary called Kennedy, his secretaries were called John Hay and John Nicolay.
And Booth was born in 1838, not 1839.
And Marilyn Monroe died a year before Kennedy was assassinated.

I had no idea there were this many similarities. I always thought it could be a government setup type of deal but wow.

.... and they were both killed because they wanted to get rid of the banks. That's the only thing similar between the two.

This is a very common article to see on the internet, just because he's posted it after you doesn't mean he copied it from you.

Also, I noticed that you didn't put a source in your post.
It's like being annoyed at someone for plagiarizing your plagiarism.
