John F. Kennedy: The Death for Peace
While John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s early life and education prepared him to be president, historians speculate which of his actions, if any, lead to his assassination. Being the youngest president ever elected to office, Kennedy especially got the attention of younger voters to whom he could relate. Kennedy did not just get the attention of younger citizens, but he caught the eye of older citizens of the United States. This was true after he was elected and started passing bills and working on foreign policies. However, some of his legislation made enemies for him. Consequently, some say that was why he did not get out of office alive (Wilentz 260).
Joseph Patrick Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy had nine children. Both of John F. Kennedy’s parents were from political families. The Kennedy family became wealthy after President Kennedy’s father, Joseph P. Kennedy became a self-made millionaire. Joseph P. Kennedy was the first chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and also the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom. All of this had taken place during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy’s father, John F. Fitzgerald, served in the state senate and the United States House of Representatives and he also was the mayor of Boston for two terms (Falkof 2)
During John F. Kennedy’s younger years he attended two different elementary schools, one in Brookline and the other would be located in Riverdale. Joseph P. Kennedy sent 13 year old John F. Kennedy to Canterbury School in New Milford, Conn., but he did not stay long. He would soon be transferred to Choate Academy in Wallingford, Conn. Kennedy graduated from Choate Academy three years later when he was 18. The class he graduated with voted him “most likely to succeed” in which he did succeed in life. Kennedy travelled to England for a summer, but ended up staying longer than expected when he enrolled at Princeton
