ABC’s of American History: K is for John F. Kennedy

March 17, 2015 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Educational Games for 2-8 Year Olds

This week’s installment in the series ABC’s of American History is all about JFK. I honestly do not know very much about him besides his assassination. Sad but true. I had to watch videos and do some research in order to find resources for this post.

John F. Kennedy was the youngest person to be elected president at the age of 43. He was also the first Roman Catholic ever elected to the presidency of the United States. He was elected by a very narrow margin and served for less than three years yet he became one of America’s most beloved leaders.

 

ABC's of American HIstory K is for John F Kennedy

Kennedy is known for many different political acts during his presidency like the launch of the Peace Corps, the Bay of Pigs, and some Civil Rights involvement. He did not get to complete his political agenda as proposed. John F. Kennedy was our 35th president and did not serve a full-term due to his assassination on November 22, 1963. He left behind  a wife, daughter and son.
