History Mystery


Abraham Lincoln


John F. Kennedy



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 are 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 John, 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

John Wilkes Booth



Lee Harvey Oswald



Both assassins were known by their three names
Both names are composed of fifteen letters

Now hang on your seat

Lincoln was shot at the theatre named 'Ford'
Kennedy was shot in a car colled 'Lincoln'
made by 'Ford'

Lincoln was shot in a theatre and his assassin
ran and hid in a warehouse
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his
assassin ran and hid in a theatre

Booth and Oswald were assasinated before their trials
