Abraham Lincoln did not write the Gettysburg Address on
the back of an envelope. In fact, he worked on that
address for two weeks.

It was Cicero, not President John F. Kennedy, who first
said words to the effect of, "Ask not what your country
can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

Some scholars believe Andrew Jackson was born at sea in
1755, not 1767, and thus was not eligible to be president
of the U.S. However, at least two states, North Carolina
and South Carolina, claim his birth place, about a mile
apart.

In 1824, Andrew Jackson received more popular votes than
John Adams, yet lost the election. The vote was so close
that neither candidate received a majority of the
electoral votes. The decision then went to the House of
Representatives, which elected Adams.

Zachary Taylor, twelfth president of the U.S., did not
vote until he was sixty-two. He did not even vote in his
own election.

President Ulysses S. Grant was once arrested during
his term of office. He was convicted of exceeding the
Washington speed limit on his horse and was fined $20.
