The Kennedy Administration “The New Frontier” The Kennedy Administration

What were the goals of Kennedy’s New Frontier? Much like his promise about a new approach on the cold war, President Kennedy also wanted changes here within the US President Kennedy was determined to improve life in the United States. He succeeded in making some domestic policy changes regarding poverty and racial discrimination and spurred interest in the space race.

People believed change was possible for a number of reasons The first reason: Kennedy was different than most politicians President Kennedy had a special style that made him seem different from other politicians. The new First Family charmed Americans with their youth and energy.

Kennedy promised America a New Frontier. He pledged to create economic opportunity and expand healthcare and civil rights. He also wanted to jump-start the space program.

Some of President Kennedy’s New Frontier proposals succeeded Some of President Kennedy’s New Frontier proposals succeeded. Kennedy was able to: Increase the minimum wage Extend Social Security benefits Improve the welfare system Pass the first Equal Pay Act for men and women However, a conservative Congress prevented Kennedy from enacting all of the programs he proposed.

Kennedy made several proposals related to the economy. Increased military spending Tax credits for business and tax cuts for the middle class Deficit spending to stimulate the economy Kennedy’s economic initiatives led to tremendous economic growth in the late 1960s.

However, progress was slow: Civil rights marches and demonstrations took place all across the country He also proposed to strengthen civil rights in response to the violence in the South. However, progress was slow: Why?

Kennedy recognized the need for the United States to beat the Soviet Union in the space race. He made it a national goal to place a man on the moon before 1970. Congress gave generous funding to NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

In July, 1969 an American flag flew on the moon.

In November, 1963, while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, President Kennedy was assassinated. After Kennedy’s death, Vice President Johnson was sworn in as the new President. The nation moved to resolve the economic and equality issues Kennedy had identified. Johnson also appointed the Warren Commission to investigate the assassination of President Kennedy.
