How Did Jfk Assassination Unjust

The Assassination of John F. Kennedy
John Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963, by Lee Harvey Oswald (Bio.com 1). The death of the president plunged the United States into mourning. Kennedy's brief presidency gave a sense of optimism and few could accept that he was really gone. Quoting Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr, "He had so little time yet he accomplished so much," (Escobedo 1). President John F Kennedy's assassination was unjust because he provided many successes for this country and provided a sense of pride and patriotism in American citizens. He helped better the people's lives in areas such as education and agriculture, strengthened the military, and stood for social equality amount races. There were some subversives in America who felt that Kennedy’s assassination was just because he stood for American values and opposed tyranny throughout the world. As an American, his assassination is viewed as unjust.
One of Kennedy's first acts as a president was the creation of the Peace Corps. Through this program, Americans volunteered to help underdeveloped nations in areas such as education, farming, health care and construction (Escobedo 1). The development of this program shows President Kennedy was
looking to help better other countries, and not just America. In addition, Kennedy supported the Civil Rights Movement. One example of his support was when student James Meredith was denied enrollment at the University of Mississippi. In response, Kennedy sent 400 federal marshals and 3,000 troops to ensure that James Meredith could attend his first class (Ayton 1). These are examples of how Kennedy’s strong willed values of social equality. While Kennedy had a shortened term, he still accomplished much towards helping the people while strengthening the military.
During The Cuban Missile Crisis, America was under the serious threat of nuclear war.
President Kennedy proposed a Naval Blockade despite the advice from his cabinet to order an air strike (Bojczuk 1). After five tense days, Khrushchev agreed to remove soviet missiles from Cuba in exchange for the assurance that America would not invade Cuba (Bojczuk 1). Furthermore, Kennedy enacted policies supplying political, economic and military needs to the southern region of Vietnam. Support in Vietnam gradually increased to the point where troops were actually fighting against the Northern Vietnamese (Bojczuk 1). Both these examples show how Kennedy strengthened the military without using
violence.
Although it was shortened, Kennedy created many adversaries during his term. In the early 1960s, communist-sentiment was rising throughout the world (History.com 1). Kennedy referred to the communism threat as “an enemy, powerful, unrelenting, and implacable who seeks to dominate the world by subversion and conspiracy,” (Bojczuk 1). He pointed out that containment was necessary for the United States’ military safety because it posed a political and economic threat (History.com 1). Communists, like assassinator Lee Harvey Oswald, did not like the idea of devoting all America’s energies to the task of disposing communism in the West, to he saw Kennedy’s murder as just.
The reaction to this young president’s death was incredible. In streets all over the world people were crying, churches all over held special observances and media sources provided minute by minute updates (Leaming 1). In conclusion, the death of President John F Kennedy was unjust because he provided many services for this country and others in need. As Kennedy said, "Life is unfair." and on November 22nd, he witnessed the effects of his own quote when his death devastated Americans (Leaming 1).
