There are several reasons a lot believe about JFK,and his assassination.He betrayed the Cubans,at the Bay of Pigs,and they were slaughtered by Castro's troops.That is 1.Then he also pissed of the Mafia,IE; Sam Giaconna and the Teamsters Union that helped get him elected.His brother Robert was the US Attorney General,and they went right after the crime bosses as soon as elected.That is 2.Then there is the little matter of Vietnam.The country was in need of a war believed all the war lovers.That is a whole other story.I have read so many books about the conspiracy theories I can't remember.Watch Oliver Stones,JFK,that might help you understand.Lincoln on the other hand freed the slaves and the south did not want this,they wanted to stay Confederates,and not be a United States of America.That is just many opinions so don't think it is the gospel.

i think it was perhaps the same reason christ was crucified they were afraid of his goodness .

Complicated, and certainly not enough room in this board to talk about it. Check...

There are a huge number of theories about why Kennedy was assassinated. Most of the comspiracy type. You'll have to look at the evidence and make up your own mind. Personally, some sort of conspiracy is not ludicrous. the American government has committed just as many attrocities as any other government of the world. many of them we did first. Shooting a president wouldn't even be the worst on the list.

Lincoln is an easier matter. Booth was definately the shooter. Much is known about him and his politics. Check the following for more.

good luck.

Because they didnt like him and they thought he was doing a sucky job.

lincoln was murdered because he had ended slavery and the south was left in ruins. john wilkes booth being of the south did not really care for lincoln soo... yeah. JFK was killed by lee harvey oswald but no one is sure why because when he was being taken a nightclub owner shot and killed him. some think that he was bribed or threatened

According to the Warren Commission (the government group assigned to investigate) Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, because he was insane. In other words, he was one lone nut.
However, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (and millions of others) never believed that, especially since he proved that Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby (Oswald's killer) actually knew each other back in New Orleans.

There are a host of other factors that lead people to believe that the murder could not have been the work of one lone nut, but a conspiracy of crooks, Cubans, and crooked politicians.
For an excellent film treatment of the case and conspiracy, see "JFK" an Oliver Stone film.
