John F. Kennedy and Abraham LincolnAbraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States of America. He served as president when the country was at war. Abe Lincoln was born in 1806 and grew up in the country as a pioneer. His mother died very young and he had a sister. His father married a widow who had three children, and Abe Lincoln loved him very much. Every day he went to school and worked very hard on his father's farm. John F. Kennedy was born in 1917 and died in 1963. John grew up in Massachusetts in a very wealthy and politically powerful family. His father was a British ambassador, and his mother was the daughter of John F. Fitzgerald, a congressman and Boston major. John Kennedy was a Harvard graduate. He was the one in the family expected to accomplish great things. JFK has 3 children, John Jr., Caroline and Patrick. John Jr. died in a plane crash on his way to the wedding of his brother Robert's daughter Cory. Patrick died at 6 weeks old while JFK was in office. Caroline is the only living character in this family. JFK's brother Robert ran for president after him, but was assassinated in 1968. Before that, he was attorney general. His other brother, Ted, is now a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, and his older brother Joe was also killed in World War II while piloting an airplane. JFK was drafted into the Navy during World War II and was awarded for his courage. After the war, he won a congressional seat in a Boston district. When he was a senator, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his book Profiles in Courage. Kennedy was elected in 1960. While in office, he suffered from back pain due to war injuries. Kennedy was subsequently assassinated in 1963. One of Lincoln's early opponents was Douglas, who was running for the U.S. Senate.
