Kennedy’s New Frontier

I. Kennedy’s New Frontier Americans were struck by the youth and vitality of the Kennedy White House. Kennedy’s public image was often different than reality. Kennedy’s narrow victory in 1960 left him without the clear mandate he needed to work well with Congress. The New Frontier came to be symbolized by the exploration of space.

Image / Reality Images of Kennedy showed a young, vital president / He suffered from Addison’s disease and a bad back. Kennedy encouraged the press to photograph and write about his children/ Jacqueline Kennedy tried to protect their privacy. Congress Most in the early 1960s were not reform minded, which was reflected in Congress. Kennedy’s narrow victory left him without a clear mandate to rule. Congress didn’t approve many New Frontier proposals. Sometimes Kennedy was able to bypass Congress and solve problems. Space Program Khrushchev claimed the Soviet lead in space showed the superiority of communism. In May 1961 Kennedy vowed that the United States would land a man on the moon. The space race became a part of the Cold War—a part that the United States would win.

II. Kennedy’s Assassination On November 22, 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Vice President Johnson was sworn in within hours. Kennedy’s death shocked the nation and the world. Within hours, police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald. While being transferred to the county jail, Oswald was shot to death by Jack Ruby.

III. The Kennedy Legacy Domestic Achievements Kennedy did not have much success with domestic issues. He acknowledged that the nation’s social, economic, and environmental problems would take many years to solve.

Questions 1.What did JFK bring to the presidency? 2.What was Kennedy’s New Frontier? 3.Why was Jacqueline Kennedy so popular? 4.Why do some people believe Kennedy used the media more effectively than other presidents? 5.Do you think President Kennedy’s domestic goal was to make poor people richer, rich people poorer, or to make all Americans richer? Explain your answer.
