Intriguing Parallels Between Lincoln and Kennedy: A Historical Analysis

This fascinating exploration uncovers striking similarities between Presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Both were elected to Congress in 1846 and 1946, respectively, and later became presidents in 1860 and 1960. They faced tragedies in their families, were deeply invested in civil rights, and received stark warnings from secretaries with each other's names. The eerie coincidences extend to the circumstances of their assassinations, with both shot in the head on a Friday. This historical review sheds light on the notion that some facts are indeed stranger than fiction.
