The War on Poverty is the name of President Johnson’s economic program to, essentially, combat poverty in America. The main product from this “War on Poverty” was the passage of the Economic Opportunity Act, which used federal funds to target poverty. During August 4th, 1964, President Johnson talked to multiple of his aides about how to get the Economic Opportunity Act approved and passed. He and his aides are constantly talking to representatives, trying to convince them to side with…

In 1932 Franklin D. Roosevelt was favorably elected into office as the nation's thirty second president. In the midst of the Great Depression with the second world war brewing, the expectations of the American people put a great deal of pressure on President Roosevelt's term. When President Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address came around, many Americans were very eager to hear what sort of plan he had created to solve the country's many hardships. With tens of millions of people listening to…

As we have known that, John F. Kennedy was born in May 1917, he was a second youngest American's person who is elected as a president in the United States.

After that, he has sworn a 35th youngest American president of the United States in Washington, D.C. on January 20, 1961. He delivered a poem, one of the most crucial important moments…

however, some believe that Diem would have changed Vietnam for the better. Although Diem was appointed into his chair as President, he was a dictator. Prior to his term as President, he visited the United States and met influential people like John F. Kennedy during the French-Indochina War. Diem opposed communism and French rule, declaring…

Our nation today is still challenged by wars across the world. I believe that President Kennedy showed us a new way of dealing with conflicts in the sense that you don’t necessarily have to resort to war. You can have peace talks and negotiate with other nations in order to solve differences. Yes, there will always be conflict among nations…

Lyndon B. Johnson became president in 1963 after John F. Kennedy was assassinated. LBJ was vaulted into the issues of the Vietnam War, civil rights, and a later declared “war on poverty”. Johnson immediately began to enact the policies Kennedy previously wanted such as a new civil rights bill and a tax cut. Along with Kennedy’s ideas, Johnson had a clear intent to implement his “Great Society” vision into the US. His Great Society included better education, Medicare and Medicaid, urban renewal,…

The start of the 20th century in 1901 brought the need for a President and first lady to an all time high. We had gotten ourselves into more extreme world affairs, so the need multiplied. Edith Roosevelt used this need to hire a secretary who publicized her activities, much like Julia Tyler did. She also oversaw many major renovations that happened to the White House at the time (“First Lady” Britannica School). Helen Taft was highly involved in politics, but in 1909 she suffered a paralyzing…

that both nations might experience cost benefits and technological gains from a joint venture. During the weeks following Kennedy’s death, Khrushchev decided he didn’t have trust in Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, as much as he had in Kennedy. Had Kennedy not been assassinated and had a joint venture succeeded in turn, The Space Race could have ended in a win-win scenario, technological advances could have been made at a much greater rate, and Cold War tensions could have been eased more…

The Conspiracy of JFK’s Assassination is what I have chose for my research paper. I think this is a worthy research topic because there are movie’s, evidence, and stories. I know that JFK was a Catholic man, which in the eyes of americans at that this time was not ok because Catholic was a big religion in the Soviet Union (Russia). People then started calling him a communist and thought he was with the Soviets. Also, I know that there were a lot of information and evidence left out, never…

The film “Across the Universe” gives an insight of how crucial society could be. How lies and decision can affect the lives of individuals. However, it also shows how unity can make people stronger and how perseverance can lead to success. This film touches on both the era of civil rights movement and the Vietnam war. It reveals the complication and long term effects the Vietnam war caused. It also reflects on how staying together and leaving one's differences behind, can revolutionize the world…
