John F Kennedy Essay

    On November 22,1963 John F Kennedy was assassinated by a man who hid behind a window in the Texas School Book depository. A man was later arrested because witnesses had pointed him out, his name was Lee Harvey Oswald (Randall, biography, 582). Many people believe this event had happened because of some sort of conspiracy. But no one can really prove why it had to happen.
    John F Kennedy seemed to be one of the only one of the few presidents that actually tried to help his country. That day had to one of the saddest days in history. Many people were in tears when they had announced the president's death. Only someone who honestly had no sense would rebel against the president's decision. Lee Oswald wanted to be noticed, so he went and took extreme measures. So many people were devistated by the event. "That morning's Dallas News had carried a full-page advertisement critisized Kennedy for his abandonment of the constitution and softness toward Moscow and communism." (Randall,Biography, 580) I can only imagine how life would be if kennedy had survived to this day.
      Kennedy only wanted what was best for his country, that was his promise to America. He had made a program called 'the new frontier', it emphasized on finding solutions to many problems. One of the most important parts of his achievements was to make sure racial segregation had disappeared, he wanted everyone to have equal rights. Although he was only presideent for little over a thousand days he changed alot.
