Answer 2

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963),also referred to as John F. Kennedy, JFK, John Kennedy or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th president of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. His leadership during the USS PT-109 incident during the Second World War in the South Pacific was a turning point in his life. Kennedy represented the state of Massachusetts from 1947 to 1960, first as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and then, in the U.S. Senate. Kennedy (Democrat) was elected president of the United States in 1960, at age 43, against Richard Nixon (Republican), in one of the closest elections in American history. He is the only Roman Catholic to be elected president of the country.

Major events during his presidency include the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, early events of the Vietnam War, and the American Civil Rights Movement.

John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas, United States. Lee Harvey Oswald, charged with the crime, was himself murdered, two days later, by Jack Ruby - before an Oswald trial could be convened. The Warren Commission concluded that Oswald had acted alone in killing the president. However, the House Select Committee on Assassinations, later, concluded that there may have been a conspiracy

Answer 7

UM, I THINK HE WAS ASSASSINATED
WHY DONT U JUST GOOGLE HIM.............GOSH, WHY DO PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS THAT CAN BE LOOKED UP SO EASILY

Answer 8

Yes. I did a whole research paper on him.
(1.)INTRODUCTION:
“The president has been shot!” The Scene was horrific; the motorcade carrying president John Fitzgerald Kennedy, his wife Jacqueline, Governor John Connally and his wife was moving through Dealey Plaza when the shots rang out killing the unsuspecting president (Coleman 1). November, 22, 1963 is a day that will never be forgotten. The man that did so much good for the United States was preyed upon by former Marine Lee Harvey Oswald. Why did this sick man commit such a terrible act? Where there more people involved in this gruesome plot? The drama and heartache surrounding the tragic situation brought up numerous conspiracy theories. What made this man great? What made him stand out among other presidents? What was so special about John Fitzgerald Kennedy?
In my opinion, John F. Kennedy was an extremely important man and he did not deserve to be assassinated. The shooting of JFK affected our country because America was in a bad time and JFK was fixing it and with the Cold War starting America would be in trouble.
(1.)The Warren Commission is a popular name given to the U.S. Commission to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy. The Warren Commission was established on November, 29, 1963 by Lyndon B. Johnson who was then the President. The commission was given the privilege of unrestricted powers of investigation. The Warren Commission was instructed to evaluate all the evidence pertaining to the shooting of JFK, and present a complete report of their findings to the Citizens of America. There were 35 members of the commission with former U.S. Solicitor General James Lee Rankin as its general counsel. The proceedings began on December, 3, 1963 and the final report was presented to President Johnson on September, 24, 1964. The hearings were closed to the public, with the exception of the person giving a testimony and the people they wanted in with them. During the investigation, the Warren commission collaborated with the Secret Service, FBI, the Department of State, the CIA and the military intelligence. The investigation yielded numerous conclusions; one of the biggest conclusions was that the assassination had nothing to do with a conspiracy, either domestic or foreign. The report proved that Lee Harvey Oswald, alone, was indeed the one who shot the motorcade, injuring Governor John Connally and killing President Kennedy. Furthermore, the report concluded that Oswald shot from the sixth floor window of a Texas School Book Depository Building. Upon concluding the report, the commission made recommendations in changing presidential security measures. In addition, the commission offered specific proposals to improve the United States Secret Service. The Warren Commission published fifteen volumes of hearings and an additional eleven volumes of evidence. The published evidence was taken from a larger collection of what are called the Warren Commission Documents. There are 1,555 documents in all, roughly 50,000 pages. The documents consist largely of reports from the government agencies that the commission collaborated with. The conclusions of the Warren Commission were criticized heavily from numerous people accusing it of serving as a “whitewash” (Columbia). In 1966 New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison initiated his own independent inquest based on the theory that the President’s assassination was a result of a conspiracy. Garrison brought charges against a New Orleans businessman, who was acquitted and released in 1969 (Bradford). There are also many people who think that the Warren Commission played a part in a conspiracy, but no evidence has been found that supports that (McAdams).
(2.)The world will never know what the exact motive was that set off Lee Harvey Oswald to wage terror on an innocent president. Perhaps it was Oswald’s fragile marriage, his grim state of mind, a mental illness, the attitude he possessed towards Kennedy, his connections and relationships with Intelligence Agencies, or a completely different drive? Whatever it was, Oswald certainly caused a great deal of pain and controversy over the tragic event (Stephenson). The simplest common explanation is that Oswald was just plain hopeless, looking for an out, because his sociopathic mind wouldn’t let him out of the place that it had trapped him in. Regarding the idea that there were more people who were involved in the assassination than Oswald, the Warren Commission ruled out that possibility. During the time that the Warren Commission was involved in the investigation of the assassination of JFK, there was countless evidence that prove that although there are many conspiracy theories that counter the Warren findings, it is officially recognized that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the killing (Stephenson).

(3.)There were numerous things that the president accomplished in the three years that he was alive and in office. The things the president did that improved the world were vast. On March, 1, 1961, Kennedy created the idea of the Peace Corps; The Peace Corps would help the world by promoting peace and welfare for all. On May, 15, 1961, during an address to Congress, Kennedy pledges that by the end of the decade the U.S. will put a man on the moon. On February, 3, 1962, Kennedy halts virtually all trade with Cuba because of the instability between the U.S. and Cuba’s dictator Fidel Castro. Because trade has halted, the U.S. has less of a chance of being harmed. February, 26, 1962 was the date when the U.S. Supreme Court rules segregation in transportation facilities is unconstitutional. On February, 30, 1962, Astronaut John Glenn orbits the earth, putting America one step closer to the moon. On March, 7, 1962, Kennedy announced the reduction of U.S. import duties as part of an agreement to promote international trade. After learning about Soviet Union missiles in Cuba on October, 16, 1962, Kennedy addresses the public on October, 22, 1962 and informs them of the situation. On that same day, Kennedy ordered a naval quarantine of Cuba to prevent further shipments of weapons. After thirteen days the Cuban Missile Crisis was resolved on October, 28, 1962 by Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet leader. On that day, the United States pledged not to invade Cuba and secretly agreed to remove missiles from Turkey, in exchange for the removal of the Soviet Weapons. On November, 20, 1962, Kennedy lifts the naval blockade of Cuba following Khrushchev’s agreement to remove IL-28 bombers from the island. On June, 26, 1963 Kennedy spoke in West Berlin, while he was there, he demonstrated his unity with the city. October, 7, 1963 was the day when Kennedy signed a limited nuclear test-ban treaty with the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom. Some domestic affairs that were important were Kennedy’s economic plans, legislative challenges, and the Civil Rights Movement. Pertaining to the United State’s economy, Kennedy played a key role in turning it around. When Kennedy became president, he inherited a country in its depths of the fourth major economic recession since World War II. Business bankruptcies had reached the highest level since the 1930’s, farm revenue had gone down 25% since 1951, and 5.5 million Americans were out of jobs and searching for work. Kennedy’s answer to the economic pit was a series of efforts designed to lower taxes, protect the unemployed, boost the minimum wage, and to concentrate on the business and housing sectors to stimulate the economy. Kennedy believed that such measures would initiate an economic escalation that would last until the late 1960’s. Kennedy’s advisors thought it was possible to adjust the economy with a mix of fiscal and monetary actions; Kennedy acknowledged and accepted their counsel and was impressed with their expertise, which seemed to be a success at the time. To a certain extent as an outcome of the administration’s efforts to deposit money into domestic and military spending, the recession had faded by the end of Kennedy’s first year holding presidency. Kennedy also proposed new social programs. These included federal aid to education, medical care for the elderly, urban mass transit, a Department of Urban Affairs, and regional development in Appalachia. The proposals encountered tough legislative criticism. Kennedy’s plan for an increase in minimum wage was put into action, but the medical program for the elderly was denied. Because of Southern Democrat’s idea that if the proposal for a Department of Urban Affairs was put into place, Kennedy would have appointed an African-American first secretary, therefore it was declined. A positive thing that happened was that the government accepted the project of providing regional development in Appalachia; this program would have a major impact over the next three decades in reducing poverty in the Appalachia region. Kennedy was a positive advocate for Civil Rights, the most conflict-ridden domestic issue. African Americans were fighting to undo centuries of social and economic hardship and activism against legalized racism was on the increase. This activism was troubling to many whites, particularly in the South. Kennedy’s role- or lack of it- in the great crusade remains a topic of controversy. Basically, Kennedy focused more on enforcing existing civil rights laws than on passing new ones. On several instances, Kennedy used some of his highest powers of his office to send troops to southern states that were refusing racial integration of their schools. During 1963, the Civil rights struggle grew progressively more vocal and faced increasing violence. African-American activists, led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had proclaimed their impatience. King and his followers participated in numerous marches, demonstrations and speeches. Kennedy’s political strategy to deal with civil rights by delaying sending a civil rights bill to Congress until his second term, when he could afford to split his party and pick up the backing of moderate Republicans to pass the proposition. Kennedy felt that if he introduced the bill in his first term, the rest of the program would suffer. However, African-Americans continued to be unconvinced of the political maneuvering and insisted urgent action to protect their civil liberties. Towards the end of 1963, Kennedy finally presented a civil rights bill. After his death, the bill became a law. Not only did Kennedy bring about change domestically, he worked on foreign affairs as well. Once Kennedy was in office, he was expected face a number of international challenges that could come from anywhere: Berlin, China, Southeast Asia, or Cuba. All of their problems threatened to burst open. During his time in office, Kennedy dealt with numerous foreign affairs. He handled the Bay of Pigs, which concerned Cuba. “The Bay of Pigs” was the name of the situation involving a covert operation into Cuba to take down Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. (Coleman 2) In June of 1961 Kennedy and Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna where Khrushchev renewed his threat to start something negative with Berlin. Khrushchev’s threat forced Kennedy to renew his pledge to respond with every means he could use, which included nuclear weapons. Two months later in mid- August 1961, the Soviets and East Germans built the “Berlin Wall” which separated East and West Berlin. The Berlin Wall gave the Cold War a tangible manifestation of the Iron Curtain. By the fall of 1962, Cuba was the main country involved in the Cold War. In order to counterbalance the United States, the Soviet Union deployed long-range nuclear missiles to Cuba, in addition to 42,000 Soviet troops with accessory weapons. For months, the Soviets managed to keep their efforts a secrete, but in mid- October, the U.S. detected the deployment of nuclear missiles in Cuba.(Kidd). The missiles were capable of reaching most the continental United States within a particularly short time. After a great deal of negotiating, Kennedy and Khrushchev came to an agreement to withdraw all of their nuclear weapons.(Coleman 4). On November, 20, 1962 Kennedy finally mandated the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade of Cuba. Kennedy aided in the success of the U.S. space program and had the goal of putting a man on the moon. Kennedy created the Peace Corps, which consisted of volunteers that deployed to over 100 nations; in addition, he created the Alliance for Peace, a plan to improve Latin America’s social and economical future. (Coleman 3). One of the last and greatest accomplishment of Kennedy was the agreement with Great Britain and the Soviet Union to limit the testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere. This agreement signaled the success of Kennedy’s efforts to engage the Soviet Union in constructive negotiations and reduce Cold War tensions, not to mention the reduction of hazardous “nuclear fallout”.(Hughes) Kennedy made countless efforts to make the world better and succeeded in bettering the economy, foreign relations and domestic politics.
Conclusion
-The Main Point for body 1 is: The Warren Commission is a committee that was designed by President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the assignation of John F. Kennedy. The commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he shot Kennedy in Dealey Plaza on November, 22, 1963.
-The Main Point for body 2 is: No one will ever know why Lee Harvey Oswald committed the insane act of murdering the President. However, there are numerous theories, but they all point to the fact that he was psychotic.
-The Main Point for body 3 is: Kennedy made many important accomplishments that made a tremendous impact on our country and foreign affairs. The last and greatest accomplishment of Kennedy was the agreement with the Soviet Union and Great Britain to limit nuclear testing in the earth’s atmosphere.
(2.)YOUR OPINION ABOUT NEW IDEAS YOU HAVE ON THIS TOPIC SINCE YOUR RESEARCH:The research I have done has really made me think about how life would have been like if John F. Kennedy had not been president. I realized that the world might not be here today because of the Cold War produced a nuclear war, it would have been disastrous.
(3.)CLOSING STATEMENT ABOUT THE TOPIC: Make it a fun or interesting or thought provoking statement or question!
If Kennedy hadn’t been as smooth talking as he was the world would be a much sadder, darker, unhappy place full of pain and nuclear bombs, after all, it was John F. Kennedy himself who said: “Problems are man-made, therefore they can be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.”(Moncur).
There you go, it's kind of choppy but you get it... copy and paste it onto a word document and make it look like yr own. Good Luck!
