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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@iammrbeat]

Very good points to bring up!

[@kiwitrainguy]

"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.

[@jn8ive60]

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.

[@TheEldritchHyena]

@@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.

[@AJD3333]

Thank you Mr Beast

[@ericdavis3879]

#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.

[@eameece]

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.

8:06 For 17, this can be argued heavily spending on how you define "southern" One can argue that states South of the Mason-Dixon Line (the original north-south divide) and/or states which were Slave states were southern states (which applies to Maryland still, even if slavery was on the way out there). Still, that'd be very nitpicky

[@tumadre50]

Having grown up in Maryland (from middle school to early adulthood) I've always found it baffling that people don't consider it the South. There were still active tobacco plantations when I was growing up. Granted the slaves had been replaced by migrant workers but still very much a southern state culturally. I don't know any Marylanders who consider themselves Northerners. Yes it wasnt part of the Confederacy but it was largely due to federal intervention since DC would have been surrounnded by two confederate states if Maryland had succeeded.

[@digitalutopia1]

Both were only known by all three names after the assassinations. As an actor, Booth was mostly billed as either J. Wilkes Booth or John Wilkes - the latter to stand out from the other family actors. Oswald was known as simply Lee Oswald - the usage of his middle name was thanks to the Dallas Police needing to specify, due to confusion identifying him. Oswald had a habit of using false names.

Kennedy died instantly, however Lincoln lingered for a while before he died.
