This is pretty weird!~
|
Look what happens when a President gets elected in a year
with a "0" at the end.
1840: William Henry Harrison (died in
office) 1860: Abraham Lincoln (assassinated) 1880: James A. Garfield
(assassinated) 1900: William McKinley (assassinated) 1920: Warren G.
Harding (died in office) 1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (died in
office) 1960: John F. Kennedy (assassinated) 1980: Ronald Reagan
(survived assassination attempt) 2000: George W. Bush
????????????
And to think that we had two guys fighting it out in
the courts to be the one elected in 2000.
You might also be
interested in this. 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." 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 with Marilyn Monroe.
Creepy, huh? Send
this to as many people as you can, because:
Hey, this is one
history lesson people don't mind reading!
