Ask people to list the United States presidents.Most people will remember to name Abraham Lincoln and John F.Kennedy.The subject of these two bold leaders and the similarities between their lives and deaths is endlessly fascinating.
Many comparisons between Kennedy and Lincoln have been made over the years.For example, Lincoln’s sons and Kennedy’s brothers were named Robert and Edward.Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.Kennedy’ s election to Congress was in 1946.Both men married stylish, dark-haired women who were as comfortable speaking French as English.Lincoln was elected President in 1860.Kennedy was elected President in 1960.Both presidents were killed on a Friday before a holiday.Lincoln’s senseless assassination occurred in Box 7 at Ford’s Theater.Kennedy was attacked in a Ford car, the seventh in a motorcade (车队).Lincoln was followed by President Andrew Johnson, who was born in 1808.Kennedy was followed by President Lyndon Johnson, who was born in 1908.
Most of these similarities can be explained as a simple coincidence.For example, Lincoln and Kennedy were both important men.It is not unusual that they would marry well-educated women, and the chance of these women having dark hair is one in three.The men had a one-in-seven chance of dying on a Friday.Presidential elections are held every four years, explaining why the timing is exactly 100 years apart.Finally, it is no great surprise that both Kennedy and Lincoln were followed in office by men named Johnson.That last name was as common in Lincoln’s and Kennedy’s time as it is today.Actually, a person would be likely to find similarities and coincidences between many different pairs of historical figures.
Just as there are similarities between presidents Kennedy and Lincoln, there are also differences.Both led rich and varied lives, but there are contrasts in their backgrounds and terms in office.Lincoln grew up in poverty.Kennedy’s family was rich and privileged.Lincoln was from the Midwest.Kennedy was from New England.Lincoln was reelected to a second term.Kennedy, however, died before he finished his first term.
