I was reading through a rather old book a while back that I had got at a yardsale when I found a section about random facts between JFK and Abe Lincoln and thought I would share what I found:
1. Lincoln was elected in 1860, 100 years later Kennedy was elected.
2. Both were involved in civil rights for african-americans.
3. Both were assassinated on a Friday in the presence of there wives.
4. Each wife had lost a son while living in the white house.
5. Both were killed by a bullet to the back of the head.
6. Lincoln was killed in Fords Theater, Kennedy was killed in a Lincoln convertable made by Ford Motor Company.
7. Both were succeeded by vice-presidents named Johnson, who were both southern democrats and former senators.
8. Andrew Johnson was born in 1808, Lyndon Johnson born in 1908, 100 years later.
9. The first name of Lincolns private secretary was John, the last name of Kennedys was Lincoln.
10. Both assassins were southerners with extremists views.
11. John Wilkes Booth was born in 1839, Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939.
12. Both assassins were murdered before they could be brought to trial.
13. Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and fled to a barn, Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and fled to a theater.
14. Lincoln and Kennedy each has 7 letters.
15. Andrew Johnson and Lyndon Johnson both have 13 letters.
16. John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald each have 15 letters.
I know some of the facts seem a bit shady to say the least but I still thought it was a good read and share worthy, hope you enjoyed.
