Aberaman Lincoln died in a Ford theater and John Kennedy died in a Lincon made by ford

[Girlypop_Plays]

I have a feeling Lincoln is Kennedy’s past life...

[todoroki]

You forgot one they were both assassinated infront or with their wives

[Royal.]

Maybe in 2060 we’ll have a president named Abraham Kennedy or John Lincoln

I know a family in NJ that is related to John Wiles Booth. They told me that their Grandmother said that " JW Booth showed up at the house looking for food and shelter 6 weeks after he was supposed to have been dead.

Lincoln was a wrestler.
Kennedy wore boxers.
Lincoln's speeches were brief.
Kennedy sometimes wore briefs.

[MrSamerTawil]

Both of them wanted to get rid of the federal reserve

A true story. Abe Lincoln was born in a Log Cabin and when Kennedy was a young boy he eating pancakes and spilled Log Cabin Syrup in his dad's Lincoln.

One week before his assassination Lincoln was in Monroe, Maryland
One week before his assassination Kennedy was in Marylin Monroe

[infinitevolumeinf.vol.]

my teacher told me and my class that both assassin's had 15 letters in their name and more

[alansamuel]

For me the bigger coincidence is that there exists a man who managed to limit the number down to these two presidents and found the unbelievable similarities between them.

[Bildad]

Just because both didn't occur within the same length of time before their assassinations, it's STILL an eerie coincidence that before his assassination, Lincoln was in Monroe, Maryland, and before HIS assassination, Kennedy was in Marilyn Monroe!

My friend in the 4th grade said this at my school talent show and I was SHOOK

[MadChristoph]

This makes a lot of sense for the writers of Clone High to put in Lincoln and JFK

[georgeeno_]

My U.S history teacher told us a lot of conspiracy theories of these 2 presidents and similarities and I was like wtf I gotta research on this and here I am

[ryanbanasik]

Both assassins went by all three names: John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald.

The Johnson Vice President thing is weird

[ImJustAHacker]

Civil rights act of 1866 was passed by a president named Andrew Johnson a year after Lincoln was assasinated, Civil rights act of 1964 was passed by a president named Lyndon Johnson a year after Kennedy was assasinated

[JS-oboh]

While the coincidence of Lincoln and Kennedy having the same number of letters in their names is not much of a coincidence, but that fact that their assassins did is a noteworthy coincidence. Lee Harvey Oswald: 15 letters. John Wilkes Booth: 15 letters.

1) Lincoln was killed in Ford Theater, Kennedy in Ford Lincoln car 2) Kennedy's assassin shot from a warehouse and was apprehended in a movie theater, Lincoln's was shot in a theater and his assailant caught and killed in a warehouse 3) Both president's successor was a man named Johnson 4) Anthony Mann made a movie in 1951 called 'The Tall Target' about a government agent (Dick Powell) who tries to prevent Abraham Lincoln's assassination - Powell's role name? John Kennedy.
