Two of the most tragic and dramatic deaths in American history, the assassinations of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and , involve the following astonishing parallels:
A hand sewn teardrop expresses the grief felt after Lincoln was murdered in 1865. Like most presidents, he was fatalistic about the possibility of assassination.
The above dollar bill, issued in Dallas only two weeks before JFK was killed there, is now known as the Kennedy assassination bill. Since Dallas is the location of the 11th of the 12 Federal Reserve Bank districts, the bill bears the letter K, the 11th letter of the alphabet, and the number 11 appears in each corner. The serial number begins with K and ends with A, standing for Kennedy Assassination. Eleven also stands for November, the 11th month of the year; two 11s equal 22, the date of the tragedy. And the series number is 1963, the year the assassination occurred.
1 - ) Lincoln was elected president in 1860. Exactly one hundred years later, in 1960, Kennedy was elected president.

11 - ) Both assassins were Southerners who held extremist views.
12 - ) Both assassins were murdered before they could be brought to trial.
13 - ) Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and fled to a barn. Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and fled to a theater.
