John Fitzgerald Kennedy Assassination
John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) was the thirty-fifth United States of America's (USA) president. He was born on 29th May 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. Rose and Joseph Kennedy were JFK's parents who came from one of the wealthiest Irish Catholic families. JFK got educated in prestigious private schools, such as Choate and Canterbury. Before joining the USA Navy, he attended Harvard University. JFK played significant roles during the Second World War and earned recognition through a Marine and Navy Corps Medal award. He served in the USA House of Representatives for three terms from 1947 to 1953 (Selverstone). Some of the things he advocated for are better working conditions for American employees, Social Security, and affordable public housing. Between 1953 and 1960, JFK was the senator for Massachusetts. He was a member and supporter of the Democratic Party, which earned him the presidential ticket in 1961. The person served as the USA's President from 1961 to 1963. JFK achieved numerous things during his presidency, such as the Alliance for Progress and the Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. JFK was assassinated on 22nd November 1963 in a presidential motorcade that passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. His wife Jacqueline Kennedy, John Connally, Texas' Governor, and his wife, Nellie. At around 1:00 pm, JFK was pronounced dead at Parkland Memorial Hospital. The paper focuses on the JFK assassination and how this conspiracy has affected how some individuals view the world today.
JFK's visit to Dallas, Texas, was planned in June 1963 by Lyndon Johnson, the USA's vice president, and Connally. In particular, the Democratic Party was to benefit from that visit, particularly by boosting JFK's reelection campaign, which was to happen the following year at around November. The president passed through Dallas city in the company of his wife, Mr. Connally, and Mrs. Connally. His destination was Dallas Trade Mart (Kibler). Specifically, the primary objective of going to Dallas was to see how people would respond to his visit and interact with them. It is critical to visit different places in the country and gauge citizens' reception with every president. When it comes to countries with a democratic government, such as the USA, people are the ones who elect the president.
Moreover, every citizen has the right to vote. In that light, citizens must be conversant with the presidential candidate and know their agenda before voting for them. That is why JFK passed through Dallas to talk to Texans and identify whether they would support him in the upcoming elections. Unfortunately, JFK's Secret Service Agents chose the route the president would be exposed to most people. Little did they know that a sniper was ready in one of the buildings waiting for the president's motorcade to pass and assassinate him.
JFK's assassination shocked the USA and led to political tension. Since the president visited other regions and always returned to the White House safe, 22nd November 1963 was a different and sad day that has remained a shock to numerous individuals, some of whom question the effectiveness of the intelligence services. Even when choosing the route that the president would pass after arriving in Dallas, no person would have expected that a sniper would be lying at the top of a 7-story building, Texas School Book Depository, waiting for the most prominent man in the USA to kill him. Lee Harvey Oswald, the 24-year-old man who assassinated JFK, was a former USA Marine, Soviet Union defector, and a self-proclaimed Marxist. At around 12:30 pm, JFK arrived in Dallas in a motorcade, accompanied by four individuals. Before his assassination, Mrs. Connally turned to the president and told him, "Mr. President, you can't say Dallas doesn't love you." JFK replied, "No, you certainly can't," which was believed to be his last words before being shot (Kibler). Texas governor was also among the ones shot since the sniper fired three times. After executing the president, the presidential limousine was directed toward Elm Street, alongside Texas School Book Depository.
Kennedy was waving to the crowd when he was assassinated. The first bullet struck him from behind and exited through his throat. Besides, no one noticed anything at that time. Then, the same bullet hit Connally, who was the first person to make noise in agony. The governor of Texas was seated in front of JFK. With no time, another bullet got JFK at the back of his head. In particular, it was this shot that is believed to have killed the president. At that time, Clint Hill, a Secret Service agent, boarded into the presidential limousine as he realized where the shots were coming from to protect the other occupants (Piereson 28).
Nevertheless, it was too late to save JFK, who was already lying with two bullets wounds. Within a few seconds, the USA had no president, and an event that was supposed to be lively turned horrible. There were commotions since everyone was shocked, and people realized that the president was shot once they saw him falling. Nobody knew that a powerful man like JFK would die from gunshots, particularly since the Secret Service Agents always safeguarded him. Although JFK was rushed to the nearest hospital, Parkland Memorial Hospital, it was too late to save him. The president was pronounced dead on arrival, and the news spread in every corner of the world. Governor Connally survived after an emergency operation. As a result, JFK’s death was a shock to the world.
JFK had boarded Air Force One to Dallas healthy returned dead. Indeed, the USA was mourning the death of the most prominent and powerful man at that moment. Before the president's body was placed on the airplane, Lyndon Johnson, then the vice president, took office and became the president. Sarah Hughes, the USA's District Court Judge, initiated the event at around 2:38 pm (Jfklibrary.org). Besides, the USA Constitution clearly states ...
