[00:00:00] History Repeats Itself - Buddy Starcher

[00:00:01] Glory glory hallelujah

[00:00:05] His truth is marching on

[00:00:17] This is a strange but true story

[00:00:19] Which proves that history

[00:00:20] Does repeat itself

[00:00:22] And the events depicted here

[00:00:25] Happened just one hundred years apart

[00:00:28] Both President Lincoln

[00:00:29] And President Kennedy

[00:00:30] Were concerned with

[00:00:31] The issue of civil rights

[00:00:33] Lincoln was elected

[00:00:35] In eighteen hundred sixty

[00:00:37] Kennedy was elected

[00:00:38] In ninteen hundred sixty

[00:00:40] One hundred years apart

[00:00:42] Both were shot from behind in the head

[00:00:45] Their successors both named Johnson

[00:00:48] Were Southern Democrats

[00:00:49] With seats in the Senate

[00:00:52] Andrew Johnson was born

[00:00:53] In eighteen hundred and eight

[00:00:55] Lyndon Johnson was born

[00:01:10] One hundred years apart

[00:01:12] Booth and Oswald were Southerners

[00:01:14] Favoring unpopular ideas

[00:01:17] Booth and Oswald were both

[00:01:18] Assassinated before going to trial

[00:01:21] Both presidents wives

[00:01:22] Lost children through death

[00:01:24] While in the White House

[00:01:26] Both presidents were killed on a Friday

[00:01:28] And in the presence of their wives

[00:01:31] President Lincoln's secretary

[00:01:33] Whose name was Kennedy

[00:01:34] Advised him not to go to the theater

[00:01:37] President Kennedy's secretary

[00:01:39] Whose name was Lincoln

[00:01:41] Advised him not to go to Dallas

[00:01:44] John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln

[00:01:45] In a theater and ran to a warehouse

[00:01:49] Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy

[00:01:57] Each contain seven letters

[00:01:59] The names Andrew Johnson

[00:02:01] And Lyndon Johnson each
