    History mystery

    Have a history teacher explain this
    if they can.

    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 were 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 Johnson, 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.
    ********************************************
    Both assassins were known by their three names.

    Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
    *********************************
    Now hang on to your seat.

    Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
    Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'
    **************************************************
    Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a
    warehouse.
    Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a
    theater.
    *****************************************************
    Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
    And here's the kicker...

    A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland
    A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marylyn Monroe.
    ****************************************************
