This is actually more than 5 facts. Let's compare Abe with John F. Kennedy. Abe was elected to congress in 1846 John in 1946 Abe elected Prez in 1860 Kennedy in 1960 Lincoln's secretary's name was Kennedy Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln Both were shot in the head. (Not the bathroom) Their names contained 7 letters Both were for civil rights reforms Both president's wives lost children while in the white house. Both assassinated by southerners on fridays. Both assassins were known by 3 names After the murder, Booth ran from ford's theater but was caught in a warehouse. (Rumor has it that it wasn't him.) Finally, both presidents were succeeded by southerners! Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theatre. Just a wk before Lincoln was visiting Monroe, Maryland Kennedy was with Marilyn Monroe a week before. (Or so it is said.)
