Lincoln - Kennedy Coincidences

Hello everyone,

Today I will bring you one of the most wondrous incidents that happened in American history. It is Lincoln and Kennedy coincidence. I heard this fact when I was a child and yesterday I eagerly wanted to find more about it. So I searched the internet and I found there are so many false statements are also made. So I searched deeply and gathered so many mysterious things about this Lincoln and Kennedy coincidence. Here we go!!

We all know both of them were presidents in the United States and both were assassinated while they were ruling the country. Abraham Lincoln was born on Feb 12, 1809, and John F. Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917. Lincoln was the 16th president in the USA and Kennedy was the 35th. But did you ever thought there are so many similarities between Lincoln and Kennedy? This is the interesting part.

First one, both had their last name with seven letters. (LINCOLN – KENNEDY).
Second, both were elected to the congress in years ending in 46, which was Lincoln in 1846 and Kennedy in 1946.
Third, both were runners-up for the party’s nomination for vice president in years ending in 56.Lincoln in 1856 and Kennedy in 1956.
Forth, both were elected as presidents in years ending in the ’60s, which were Lincoln in 1860 and Kennedy in 1960.
The fifth one is quite impressive. Both lost a son while they were living in the White house. Lincoln lost his 11-year-old Willie Lincoln and Kennedy lost his infant son Patrick Kennedy.
Sixth, do you believe both these lost sons were had first, middle and last name with similar no. of letters which is 7.William Wallace Lincoln and Patrick Bouvier Kennedy.
Seventh, both were assassinated by killers who were known by three names. Lincoln was killed by John Wilkes Booth. Kennedy was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald.

Eighth both were shot on Friday and both were shot in the head.
Ninth, this one is quite impressive and connected. Lincoln was shot at Ford’s theatre and Kennedy was shot in his car made by Ford company, which was a Lincoln limousine.

How far connected, isn’t it? Ten, both were shot while they were sitting next to their wives.
Eleven, both successors were southern democrats with the last name of Johnson. Lincoln’s successor was Andrew Johnson and Kennedy’s Successor was Lyndon Johnson. Did you notice both of their names have a similar number of letters? Okay I count it as the twelveth one.

And the thirteenth, both successors were born in years ending in ’08. This one is a big surprise. Isn’t it? Andrew Johnson was born in 1808 and Lyndon Johnson was born in 1908. Fourteenth, actually this one is also a well-connected one.
So as the last one I choose this. After shooting the Lincoln, Booth ran from the theatre and caught at someplace similar to a warehouse. And Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and caught at a theatre. Impressed ha?

There are so many other statements that can be found in Google. But most of them don't have such kind of proof. So that’s all. What do you think? Are all those things are just coincidences? I don’t know whatever it’s a really intriguing fact. By the way, I would like to end this post with a well-known famous phrase.

“History repeats”.
