History lesson

[Gwizz]

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 weir d.

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 with Marilyn Monroe.

Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading

I've seen some of the comparisons before, but never as in depth as this! Too many instances to be written off as coincidence.

[Wolverine@MSU]

They also both have seven letters in their last name!!!! What a coincidence

If it's not all coincidence, do you think it was all planned???

[conomark]

I don't really think it was planned , but I think it's more than coincidence. There must be some sort of dark reasons that all of this happened the way it did. .... or maybe not I guess we'll never know for sure.

The scopes piece reads like it was written by a lawyer in training, The assignment being to write a rebuttal. It has to be easier to fine differences then similarities.
The rebuttal was an interesting read. But not as interesting as the similarities,
