JFK and Abe Lincoln Similarities!
JFK and Lincoln Similarities!
Abe Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. The number of similarities is stunning. You’ll soon see why!
The first category is their life. Both Abe and John were boat captains, and they served in the military. They both had two sons Edward and Robert, Lincoln’s son Edward died young and Robert lived on, while Kennedy’s son Robert died young and Edward lived on. The second category is their presidency. Lincoln was elected president in 1860, and Kennedy in 1960. Both were succeeded by different vice-president Johnson’s. War was thrust on both almost immediately after their Inauguration. And both were loved by the common people and hated by the establishment. Both Lincoln and Kennedy were succeeded by different vice-president Johnsons.
The third category is their assasinations. Lincoln was shot in Fords Theater and Kennedy was shot in a car made by Ford. Both assasins had 3 worded 15 lettered names. Both presidents were near their wives when shot.
A Look at History 
I already knew all of these, and know a few more. For instance: John Wilkes Booth shot Abe Lincoln in a theater and fled to a warehouse. Oswald shot JFK from a warehouse and fled to a theater. It’s amazing, isn’t it? The way history can sometimes repeat itself, but backwards.

Interesting!But if you were in Mrs.O’s class we did a mystery type of thing a while ago and there was A LOT of information about the J.F.K and Lincoln assassinations and you could have got more information there if you kept the paper.But other than that good info and voice-thread.-Lauren
