Abraham Lincoln's and John Kennedy's Assassination Similarities
Similarities between the Lincoln and Kennedy Assassinations
Both American presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy (JFK) were tragically assassinated during their terms in office. Both men, admired by many, were hated by many who opposed their political views. Very shortly after the Kennedy assassination in November of 1963, a strikingly similar comparison of the circumstances of his death and the death of Lincoln in 1865 surfaced media everywhere. These comparisons have both fueled conspiracies and pointed out some amazingly specific coincidences. Some examples include:
- Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846/Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946
- Lincoln was elected president in 1860/Kennedy was elected president in 1960
- Both of their wives lost a child while living in the White House
- Both were directly concerned with Civil Rights
- Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy who warned him not to go to the theater/Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln who warned him not to go to Dallas
- Both were shot in the back of the head in front of their wives
- Lincoln was shot in the Ford Theatre/Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln (made by Ford)
- Both shot on Fridays
- Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and fled to a warehouse/Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and fled to a theater
- Both assassins were killed before being brought to trial -Lincoln’s successor was Andrew Johnson (born in 1808)/Kennedy’s successor was Lyndon Johnson (born in 1908)
- Both president’s last names contain letters
While entertaining, most people argue that these coincidences could have occurred to anyone.
