AN INTERESTING HISTORY LESSON

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 weird.

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.

Is it coincidence /providence or some unexplainable force working. Man will never be able to understand. That is why the unexplainable was turned into divine power by the old people.
