Did Lee Harvey act alone? I think Lee Harvey Oswald did act alone on this with the evidence I found online. President JFK was killed Nov. 22, 1963. He was at a parade in Dallas Texas and was riding in an open topped car when he was shot and killed. Lee Oswald was arrested for the death of JFK. It was said that Harvey had a lot of hate for his society and that he would act against it. He had fired three shots from a window of Texas Book Depository. Harvey had messed up in so many different ways…

fact that before JFK even made his speech people knew that it was going to be the best. This was seen when Rep. Charles Buckley of New York was asked what was the best inaugural he had been to his answer was, “The one we’re going to tomorrow” (Source B). JFK had not even said one word of his speech yet it already had some respect. Ethos was also used in Source C which showed him standing proudly at the podium about to give his speech. Source C also displays how everyone supported as they all sat…

The year 1965 constituted a huge turning point in US history, under Johnson’s administration the decision was made to deploy US troops to a deteriorating situation in Vietnam. The debate surrounds Johnson, and whether he had choice to make his own decision. Vandemark and Cuddy present the argument that pressure felt from the public and the lack of a popular mandate left Johnson with constrained choice. However, this is countered through the lack of supporting evidence and the stance taken by…

Stereotyping Brave Veterans with Harbaugh Do you hold any type of fear towards combat veterans? Are veterans all insane, psychopaths?
