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 with Marilyn Monroe.

Whenever there's a mystery - the Bosnian pyramids, the Great Pyramid at Giza, the 'face' on Mars, Atlantis, climate change - there's an upsurge in the opinion that experts don't know anything and are very keen keep things quiet and maintain the orthodoxy. Why is this?

Experts have trained for many years to be good at what they do and to question the orthodoxy in order to keep the debate alive (no debate = no job). Backing a revolutionary theory is a good way to make your name. So why do the public seem to trust mathematicians who claim they can prove historical events?

The axe was brought back from Germany from WWII. Taken from a bombed out German building. The axe is one sided, with an eagle's head on the opposite side. The beak of the eagle is used for armor piercing. The entire axe head is roughly 8 in long and 6 in high. The axe is engraved with what looks like floral work. The eagle head is fairly intricate as well. I have taken the piece two different professors who gave me different opinions. Both thought the piece orignated from Germany, but one claimed Medieval and the other claimed Germanic tribes. If you are knowledgable in Medieval arms, please help...or email me.

Thank You

Cracker has been used as a supposed 'offensive' term.

I heard that it came from back in the day when slaves worked
and a specific man would come out and 'whip' them,
and from the sound of the 'whip' was a cracking noise.

So from then on they were called the 'crackers'.

Is this true?

(No, not the crackers you eat, silly.)

At the end of the American War of Independence, I know that Britain provisionally recognised the independence of the USA as part of the Preliminary Articles of Peace which were signed 30 November 1782 and ratified by congress 15 April 1783. I do not know if this formed part of the final Peace Treaty of Versailles, or whether it was a separate agreement. Were the Preliminary Articles, a preliminary part of the Treaty of Versailles, or were they entirely separate, coming before the main treaty? Also, did the main Peace Treaty of Versailles serve to finalise the Preliminary Articles, thus meaning that American Independence would be dated from the date of those Preliminary Articles: 30 November 1782?
