"Both Lincoln and Kennedy died at nearby locations from where they were shot"
Yes. As is what tends to happen when someone is shot in the head. They die, usually pretty quickly.
I believe Kennedy died when his head was literally shot off.
Another huge coincidence, both Booth and Oswald assassinated an American president.
Lincoln died in Ford theater
Kennedy died in a Lincoln which was made by Ford
It's a no brainer.
Still, they were the most open minded presidents ...
@@SoulforSaleSo Ford is to blame then!
Lincoln was raised in a log cabin with his father. JFK once spilled Log Cabin syrup in his father's Lincoln.
Genuine laugh out loud
#31 - Both Lincoln and Kennedy died after they were assassinated... COINCIDENCE?!
IMPOSSIBLE 😳
#32 - Both Lincoln and Kennedy White Male Presidents
Well Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan survived their assassinations and both were known for being great, manly, Republican presidents who won by a landslide. Also, Reagan was an actor who played a western cowboy before he became president and Roosevelt was a real western cowboy before he became president. Both presidents had ranches and both were informally called "the cowboy president."
#33 - Both Lincoln and Kennedy breathed at least once in their lives.
#34 - Both Lincoln and Kenmedy were borm some time between the birth of the univirse and now
The guy who wins the 2060 election: “On second thought, I’ll pass.”
Actually every president elected in a year ending in 0 from 1840 to 1960 died in office. (Also president Zachary Taylor, who was elected in 1848.). Ronald Reagan broke that curse by surviving being shot by John Hinckley Jr.
@@daerdevvyl4314 yeah. Have you ever heard of the 0 curse? It was something to do with William Henry Harrison killing a native chief while at war. Its just a coincidence, but the story is cool
@@daerdevvyl4314 Biden sweating rn
It’s the Tecumseh curse. He warred against William Henry Harrison in the Indian Wars in the midwest in the early 1800s. When WHH was elected president in 1840 he gave a multi-hour inaugural speech in the pouring rain without wearing a coat so he could appear “strong” and “tough.” He shortly thereafter contracted pneumonia and died a few weeks later.
Everyone mentioned the Curse of Tippecanoe, but noone said its proper name.
"They both died near the locations they were shot"
Amazing.
One you didn’t mention(which I understand you weren’t going over all of them) that I found impressive was that both their predecessors were the last ones born in the previous century. Buchanan was born in 1791, and Eisenhower was born in 1890.
Also if you add the individual numbers both 1791 and 1890 add up to 18.
1 + 7 + 9 + 1 = 18
1 + 8 + 9 + 0 = 18
I think thats just a consequence of being in the election of the 60s of your specific century. Guy who wins the 2060 election will probably be in the same boat.
thats actually true dang-
I feel like the "successors names were johnson" deserves more hype because they're the only two president Johnson's we ever had
Andrew Johnson was a trash president, kinda sucks Lincoln was sandwiched in between trashy presidents, one that started the civil war and dipped then one who didn't know how to fix the nation after the civil war
@@libertyprime619 feel sorry for grant the most though, he must’ve suffered loads after Lincoln died up until his death
Is Johnson the second most popular surname? I would have guessed Jones.
If that is the explanation then why haven't there been 4 President Smiths?
@@libertyprime619 Andrew Johnson AND Lyndon Johnson were both trash presidents. AJ' was so lost in the sauce he legit thought the best plan to keep the Union together after Lincoln's passing was to amass another army and fight ANOTHER war, this time against the then French/Austrian controlled Mexico. He also put pressure in the OPPOSITE direction of civil rights issues.
Lyndon Johnson took the couple thousand advisors Kennedy sent to Vietnam and turned them into hundreds of thousands of troops, in a prolonged war that drained the US of it's resources, killed the faith of it's people in their government and then on top of that, he only pushed for civil rights when he was FORCED to do something about it.
Both were garbage, and did a real shit job of it. (imo)
@@majorplothole2620 I forgot AJ did that lmao
I like how many of these coincidences happened exactly one hundred years apart. It's almost like the two presidents were born about 100 years apart
NOOO WAYYYY
108 years apart. Lincoln was born in 1809. JFK was born in 1917.

The following one I discerned by myself.
Andrew Johnson had once been a tailor, his wife had once been a schoolteacher; Lyndon Johnson had once been a schoolteacher, his wife had once been a "Taylor!'
I also think that it’s fairly obvious two people would have a lot of similarities if they ended up taking similar paths in life (like two presidents or two dictators) like of course they’re gonna be similar in some meaningful way
its also easy to find similarities when you try to look for them
The coincidence that both of their assassins were know by 3 names is true, but the Central Intelligence Agency has 25 letters and John Wilkes Booth has 15 letters.

Coincidences between Mr. Beat and Mr. Beast:
1) both have at least six identical letters in their names
2) both have a sponsorship from Honey
Both are Male and on youtube
Both have Mr in their name
Both has a goatee, both uses vibrant colors
Both are humans
With all these coincidences they might as well be the same person!
The chances they were both killed on a Friday is actually closer to 1/49, because they each had a one in 7 chance of being killed on a Friday, but the chances they were BOTH killed on a Friday is exponentially less likely, leading to a 1/49 chance
But, they could've both been killed on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. The point is they were killed on the same day, which is 1/7.
@@castonyoung7514😮 tell me your trolling
@@Rey-mh4js Am I incorrect? Is the chance that two randomly selected people die on the same day of the week not 1 in 7?
@@castonyoung7514 yes for them individually it is 1/7 but for them BOTH like the comment originally said it is 1/49.
@@davidg9401 OMGosh it is no different for them to both be killed on Saturday than it is for them to be born on a Friday, or a Monday, or Thursday! What do you not understand?
Look:
chance they were both killed on a Sunday = 1/49
chance they were both killed on a Monday = 1/49
chance they were both killed on a Tuesday = 1/49
chance they were both killed on a Wednesday = 1/49
chance they were both killed on a Thursday = 1/49
chance they were both killed on a Friday = 1/49
chance they were both killed on a Saturday = 1/49
Add them all up together and you get 7/49 which equals 1/7. Therefore the chance of them both being killed on the same day is 1/7.

@@LordGigaChad69 lol yeah
They both have remembered assassinations
All assassins and criminals have to been known by their full names. This is to prevent the wrong person from being arrested.
Yeah, John booth is a pretty generic sounding name, but Wilkes is a pretty interesting middle name. Idk if it was one of those old-timey names though. Like mark david chapman or James earl ray. I guess they all have pretty generic names so it makes total sense
But having the exact same number of letters is pretty cool
@@iammrbeat stalin and hitler have the same amount of letters too (x-files theme plays)
@@iammrbeat yeah
@@hydrogen3266 WOAAAHNNNEESSSS
Did anyone actually call Oswald by all three of his names before he was infamous? I seem to recall watching a documentary about the Kennedy assassination where they interviewed some of Oswald's neighbors and they just called him Lee.
The scariest coincidence, the license plate of the car that Archduke Ferdinand (guy who was assassinated starting WWI) license plate was A 11 11 18. Don’t get it yet probably, but A is armistice November 11, 1918 when the Armistice that ended WWI was signed!
Honestly this was really crazy considering all the possible combinations of the liscence plates
I was born 11 11 92. COINCIDENCE!?
@@FrostedRaps i was born in 11 11 as well
I wasn’t sure if this was tru at first, but I looked it up and they still have the original car and I swear to god it’s on of the creepiest things ever
How do you know the A stands for armistice?
Lincoln was a Republican, Kennedy a Democrat.
Lincoln was elected president twice, Kennedy only once.
Lincoln had a beard, Kennedy was clean shaven.
Lincoln was born poor, Kennedy was born wealthy.
Lincoln was killed with a pistol, Kennedy was killed with a long rifle.
Lincoln was shot inside, Kennedy was shot outside.
Lincoln was born in Kentucky, Kennedy was born in Massachusetts.
"Abraham" has 7 letters, "John" has 4 letters.
Lincoln did not have a middle name, Kennedy's middle name was Fitzgerald.
Maybe Lincoln and Kennedy were not that similar after all! :)
How dare you! lol
You too miss the point. Similarities between POTUS lincoln and POTUS Kennedy goes much deeper than first names and whether they have a beard or not. The universe can be calculated by numbers...einstein proved that. The facts associated with these dates are quite alarming. So alarming....it could have had some form of prediction on their fates.
Lincoln liked hats, particularly his classic stovepipe hat. Kennedy actually hurt the hat industry because he preferred not to wear a hat.
@@HoboJoe1416 It was actually the rise of the car around the same time that caused hats to lose popularity
The Russian Empire supported Lincoln in the Civil War. The USSR and Kennedy almost started a nuclear war.
About the assassins being known by three names: This is an artifact of the news media. The news media will often use first, middle, and last names when referring to high-profile alleged criminals in order to not get sued by other people who might have the same first and last names. But usually, the alleged criminals were not actually known by three names before becoming famous. Oswald was known as Lee Oswald before shooting Kennedy, but there might very well have been another Lee Oswald in Dallas at that time, so the news media used three names to avoid confusion.
not all assassins are known by 3 names. But in this case their full names both had 15 letters.
The one about "dying near where they were shot" is so egregious to me. Like no shit, that's kinda how it works. You might as well have said "both died when their organs shutdown" WOW WHAT A COINCIDENCE
What about the one where they both died in a place that was different from where they were shot. Neither one of them died on the spot.
Kennedy died instantly, however Lincoln lingered for a while before he died. Kennedy had most of head blown away, where as Lincoln, his head was completely intact, the bullet was lodged behind his eye. but both would have been considered brain dead instantly immediately after the gunshots. when a bullet enters the skull it does a great deal of damage.
@@kiwitrainguy Kennedy was dead instantly when the bullet ripped his head apart. in fact a sizeable amount of his head and brains were missing.
If you think about this from a statistics point of view, it's not actually that weird. There's something called the "Law of Truly Large Numbers": With a large enough sample, normally uncommon things will become common. Since there have been over 100 billion people over the course of history, there's bound to be a pair with a higher than usual number of things in common. The fact that Lincoln and Kennedy were both presidents just _happens_ to be one of those things.
Well your not picking from 100 billion people just people born after Lincoln was and who were eligible for the presidency. So not all 100 billion. Not saying it’s a conspiracy just pointing out that its from a smaller group than 100 billion.
Still a lil sus
@@wallywallendo nope. Start with a 100 billion people pick two that happens to have several things in common. That one of the things is being a president is just a coincidence
@@reineh3477 Being assassinated American presidents, two of only four, is what made them notable enough for people to search for these coincidences in the first place.
The thing that makes it weird is that it was 2 incredibly famous people. If it was george from oklahoma and muhammad from saudi arabia it wouldn’t be weird at all. plus it’s just fun to find those coincidences that occur now and then.

No offense to Caroline Kennedy, who's only 63
But her brother died in a plane crash at 38, her other brother died as a baby, and she had a sister who was stillborn
Number 14 isn't so unusual. Its common place for alleged murderers to be called by three names. Probably so they don't get confused with similar named non suspects.
Now that.. is interesting
That’s what I was thinking.
but the full names had the same number of letters
0:38: I have (or had) the poster on the left bottom. I later found at least 3 "coincidences" to be false. Two were mentioned by Matt: both the assassins' birth years and the secretary non-coincidence (OK, Kennedy's secretary was indeed named Evelyn Lincoln). The writer of that poster did a little hasty math: Booth was 26 when he was killed in 1865; Oswald was 24 when he was killed in 1963. But Oswald's 24th birthday was about 5 weeks earlier in 1963, while Booth died less than a month before his 27th birthday later in 1865. 1865 minus 27 is 1838 while 1963 minus 24 is indeed 1939.
The third non-coincidence, at the very bottom of the aforementioned poster, not mentioned by Matt, is completely false: "Both Johnsons were opposed for reelection by men whose names start with 'G'". While Lyndon was opposed by Goldwater, Andrew, though a Democrat, was so unpopular, he wasn't even nominated to run in 1868. His presidential goose was completely cooked. He never faced Ulysses Grant. Thus, he was not opposed by Grant in the election, though they did hate each other personally.

In 1951, the film "The Tall Target" was released. It dealt with a fictional assassination plot against President-Elect Abraham Lincoln staying in New York City on his way to Washington DC. The plot is foiled by a police detective named John Kennedy.
The film was a box office dud, but did gain some interest in the wake of the JFK assassination.
I just looked it up on IMdB.com. You are quite correct!
Wow
Many may not know but while still a boy, Abraham Lincoln lost his mother to what was believed at the time to be a vampire's bite. He vowed revenge, but failed, narrowly escaping with his life. He was rescued by coincidentally Milton Green (Marilyn Monroe's photographer). Green instructed Abe on how to dispatch the bloodsuckers he'd seen 'necking' with his mother. Abe continued his fight against the undead well into adulthood and into his presidency, making his last stand against the pale long-toothed men on the eve of the Civil War's first battle.
When I read your comment, it suddenly reminded me of the short story book that was published in 1898 called “Titan.” It was a bit a new luxury liner called the Titan that sank in the Atlantic during her maiden voyage. And no, I’m not making that up. 😂

Here’s another coincidence: if you take the alphabetical value of the initials of each of the assassins, and you add them up, you will find that each of the assassins’ initials add up to 35.
John Wilkes Booth -> J (10) + W (23) + B (2) = 35.
Lee Harvey Oswald -> L (12) + H (8) + O (15) = 35.

Another strange, Kennedy-related coincidence is that C. S. Lewis, a famous Anglican writer, Aldous Huxley, a famous atheist philosopher, and John F. Kennedy, a famous Catholic president, all died on the exact same day.
I'm 60, and I never even heard of many of those coincidences. One of the more interesting ones to me was no. 24. When I was a teenager, I had heard that Lincoln's Secretary of State was named Kennedy, and Kennedy's Secretary of State was named Lincoln. But wherever I had heard that from, it was told incorrectly (personal secretaries, not Secretaries of State), which I didn't know at the time. But I knew the Secretaries of State thing was false, because where I grew up in Morris County, NJ, a friend worked on a farm which contained an old stone house. That house was the former home of William Seward, Lincoln's Secretary of State. So obviously his name was Seward, not Kennedy. It wasn't until today, in this video, that I found out the coincidence was supposed to be with their personal secretaries, which of course turned out to be false anyway. So I'm glad this video showed up in my feed today. It was still fun to watch.
I like how the song was just him talking with a beat in the background 😂😂
So, rapping?😏
I always found these coincidences interesting and I’m so happy you made a video on this!
I'm surprised I'm one of the few dorks to actually make a video about it 😅
I love Mr. Beats. Awesome sauce.
By FAR the weirdest one was the Ford Theater/Lincoln Limosine one.
8:12 Maryland was considered to be a southern state at the time but stayed in the union
That was exactly my point (that it stayed in the Union)
@@iammrbeat Yeah but the comparison was that both John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald were from Southern states. Maryland was a southern slaveholding state. In fact a large population in Maryland wanted to secede but the constant military presence blunted that.
@@iammrbeat The comparison is that both are from Southern states. Maryland is a southern state (or was considered one at the time of the Civil War, nowadays it's more Mid-Atlantic).
@@everynametaken Supposedly, Washington DC was intentionally meant to be built between Northern and Southern states as a form of compromise.
The “three names” thing for the assassins is dumb, that’s just how we traditionally refer to infamous criminals/killers.
Isn’t it CRAAAZYY that Jack the Ripper was his given name tho?!!
but they don't all have 15 letters in their names.
Here’s a weird coincidence about George Washington and Woodrow Wilson. Washington was born in February, died in December, he was 67. Wilson was born in December, died in February, he was 67.
Another coincidence: There's a couple of kids in my highschool and one is named Lincoln, and another is named Kennedy. Their both friends
It’s cool that everything between them happened 100 years apart though
This is probably why I’m good friends with Lincoln.
Holy sh*t

Here's a few coincidences you won't have heard of. I was baptised on the 1st anniversary of Kennedy's assassination and my surname is Johnson, which might be the second commonest surname in the USA, but I'm British and Johnson is the 10th commonest surname in England. Whilst researching my ancestry, I discovered my 2nd cousin, 5 times removed, Colonel Pren Metham (1830 - 1917) witnessed the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in April 1865 and he was the first man to jump onto the stage in pursuit of John Wilkes Booth. Not only did he name one of his sons Lincoln after the President, but his father was born in the English city of Lincoln in the county of Lincolnshire here in England.
It is not that common that two people have the same last name, even if a common one.
I find that some of the coincidences are stretched, but a lot of them are really surprising
The bottom line is, collectively they are pretty cool
Me too actually. :)
Two presidents who stood up for the American people and unfortunately payed the ultimate price.
They also stood up to the bankers
You should make a part 2 to this
did you know that they were both assassinated?? It’s crazy that that one didn’t end up on the list
God just replayed the same campaign with a different character
I feel like Honey accidentally sponsored you while trying to sponsor Mr.Beast
XD
Coincidentally, I found this video on my recommendations a day after I first heard of these coincidences
Imagine being related to both Lincoln and Kennedy while your best friend is related to Booth and Oswald.
They both lived in the same house, had the same address and spoke English! Crazy right
Honey went from Mr.Beast to Mr.Beat, coincidence? I think not.
Another one is that both fought fantasy creatures, Lincoln fought vampires and Kennedy fought zombies
this is the most sane history teacher in all of existence
It’s always a good day when Mr. Beat uploads :)

I’ve studied this in great detail and there’s a lot more coincidences between the 41st and 43rd Presidents 🤔🤔
Yea and the 2nd and 6th presidents too
The 22nd and 24th Presidents have even *more* coincidences 🤯
At this point, I'm certain JFK was just Abe Lincoln reincarnated
I once had a parchment listing Lincoln Kennedy coincidences.
#14 should be added to the misleading category. Lee Harvey Oswald was never known publicly by his full name, until after the police investigation into the murder. It was the news media who began using his middle name in the aftermath of the assassination. You may notice news media often cites the full name (including middle names, where applicable) to notorious people, like serial killer John Wayne Gacy, for example. Often that is done to distinguish them from other people who may have a similar name, so they don't get harassed by the public, who might confuse their innocent neighbor for the killer. In fact, after Lee Oswald, visited Russia, he and his new girlfriend always referred to him by his alias, Alek Hidell. So no, Oswald was not known by three names, at least during his lifetime.
And yet he often signed his 3 names, as in the Mexico City hotel, and he used all three initials for his fake name at his rooming house. And the coincidence is the number of letters in the names of the two assassins. Is that so common? People have to mention that they were known by 3 names in order to point out that coincidence.
John Wilkes Booth frequently acted under the name "J. Wilkes," in an effort to set himself apart from his famous acting family. Also, Oswald generally went by Lee Oswald, not his full name. The practice of referring to Oswald by his full name may have originated when Henry Wade, the Dallas County prosecutor, was addressing the press regarding Oswald being captured and charged. Henry Wade, by the way, was Wade in Roe v. Wade.
Very good points to bring up!
"When I leave the stage (for the last time) I will be known throughout the land" - John Wilkes Booth
He meant that he would be well known for his acting career.
There's a tendency to refer to assassins of public figures by their first, middle, and last names at all times, even though they, like most people, went by only their first names on a day to day basis.....Mark Davis Chapman is another example.
@@jn8ive60 That isn't always the case. One example I know off the top of my head is Ronald Reagan's would-be assassin, John Hinckley Jr. He's usually only referred to by his first name, last name, and the "Junior" suffix to indicate which "John Hinckley" he was. Although people might've started calling him by his full name if he was successful in killing Reagan, but I guess we'll never know.
Another detail I don’t think I’ve seen is that both spots they were killed is in Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, MI.
JFK’s limo sits nearby Abraham Lincoln’s chair that each was shot in.
Fun Fact. Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were both born on 12 February 1809. Just figured that out, wanted to tell it to someone.
Well I go to a school called JFK Memorial High School so I guess I’m related to this stuff too
SUCH A COINCIDENCE.
"They both died near where they were shot." Surprised Pikachu face
Is it a coincidence that we’ve never seen them in the same room together 😳🤔
