Is there any similarity between the the death of John.F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln?

Oh lordy, there's a whole long list of "coincidences". Or are they?.... #1 - Lincoln became president in 1860 Kennedy became president in 1960 (as you said) #2 - Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln #3 - Lincoln was succeeded, after assassination, by Vice President Johnson Kennedy was succeeded, after assassination, by Vice President Johnson #4 - Lincoln was seated next to his wife when shot Kennedy was seated next to his wife when shot. #5 - Lincoln was shot in the back of the head on a Friday Kennedy was shot in the back of the head on a Friday #6 - Lincoln was shot in *Ford's* Theater Kennedy was shot in a Ford-Lincoln automobile #7 - Lincoln was elected to congress in 1846 Kennedy was elected to congress in 1946 #8 - Lincoln's assassin ran from the theater to a warehouse Kennedy's assassin ran from a warehouse to a theater #9 - John Wilkes Booth was born in 1838 Lee Harvey Oswald was born in 1939 (close...) #10 - Lincoln was sitting in box #7 Kennedy was riding in car#7 #11 - Lincoln won the election against Stephen Douglass, born in 1813 Kennedy won the election against Richard Nixon, born in 1913 #12 - A Southerner killed Lincoln, and a Southerner succeeded Lincoln A Southerner killed Kennedy, and a Southerner succeeded Kennedy #13 - The chair and car both were assassinated in are on display in the same museum - The Henry Ford Museum in Detroit (which I frequent regularly!).

Well, they were both assassinated, they were both seated next to their wives at the time of their assassinations, and they were both killed for political reasons (Lee Harvey Oswald was a Communist sympathizer and John Wilkes Booth was a Confederate sympathizer), with a shot to the back of the head. They both preceded presidents who were later impeached, (although Nixon's impeachment occurred more than 10 years after Kennedy's assassination. ).

Sorry, we couldn't find the page you were looking for. Maybe you'd like to try searching for it?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
