Many people generally find politics and or history boring. Maybe, it’s due to the lack of mind blowing information; maybe the mere fact that you have a teacher that blabs on about unimportant historical facts. Whatever, the case maybe, “ITS COOLIO!”. I did a research project based on the connections of presidents (deep I know). Two in particular were President Lincoln and of course, Kennedy. Kennedy and Lincoln overall, had similar views which inspired me to connect them.
Lincoln was elected into congress in 1846
Kennedy was elected into congress in 1946
Lincoln was elected as President in 1860
Kennedy was elected as President in 1960
Lincolns' secretary was named "Kennedy"
Kennedys' secretary was named "Lincoln"
Lincoln and Kennedy have an interesting connection, both presidents are exactly 100 years apart, also each president had secretaries named after each other. Some may speculate its reincarnation (if you believe in that type of theory) or it may be a coincidence.
Both Presidents were assassinated by southerners
Booth and Oswald were killed before trial
A man named Andrew Johnson succeeded both Presidents, one born 1808 the other 1908
HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS!!
Lincoln was shot in the head in a theater named Ford and his killer ran to a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot in a Ford car from a warehouse and the killer ran to a theater.
A week before Kennedys' death he met Marilyn Monroe and a week before Lincolns' death he was in Monroe, Maryland.
What do you think?
This is a very intriguing blog. It leaves me wondering now..... My boyfriend is into politics as well and he sort of brought this up a while back but I payed no attention. Goood JOB (:
