The world remembers John F. Kennedy today because his face was in the living room of nearly every American’s house from his campaign in 1960 until his death in 1963. Many people who watched the debates between Kennedy and Nixon on television would choose JFK as the winner, but those who only listened to the debate thought otherwise. This goes to show how charismatic and charming JFK was and how he was the first real president to win in large part due to his personality. The Kennedy family was borderline royal in America during the 1960’s and the young image of John Kennedy still lives in the minds of many to this day. John Kennedy established the modern day trend of American Presidents possessing a celebrity like quality.

It all started September 1st, 1939, when the Second World War occurred and ruined the lives of many Jews, Germans, and other people who were included in the war. There were many heroes though, and one of them is Albert Goering. He did so many courageous things to save the Jews, he blossomed and surprised many people, his brother being one of them. He tricked, killed, and saved quite a bit of citizens. He couldn’t save everyone, but the ones he did save are very grateful that they got to live to see the sun another day.

Playing the drums is not the only thing drummer boys did, they sent commands to all the soldiers as it was confusing on the battlefields and spoken commands went unheard. The drummer boys have as much right to be proud of the work they do as their soldier counterparts. The letters sent by the children soldiers depict how proud they are to be helping and fighting in the war. James K. Newton, a drummer boy, wrote about how they captured the Spanish Fort and his enthusiasm is apparent, “Spanish Fort is ours at last! Last evening a charge was made by the 3rd Brig.

Between American soldiers and civilians, the estimated death toll during World War 2 (WWII) reaches an outstanding 418,500 ("By the Numbers: World-Wide Deaths"). The success of American Soldiers on the battlefront required the efforts of each citizen back on American soil. In order to supply war efforts, the United States government began to place restrictions on items that were in high demand on the battlefront. This practice became known as rationing, and soon Americans knew all too well the sacrifices that came with surviving a war. How did rationing affect everyday life of those on the home front during WWII?

Military-Industrial Complex: How did Eisenhower Know? President Dwight D. Eisenhower was not only a successful high-ranking general during WWII and a two-term president, he was also quite insightful and able to diagnose, for lack of a better term, a disease that would grow and spread within the layers of our government through the 50 years following his presidency.

8- Franklin D. Roosevelt and this New Deal fundamentally transformed America and created a debate that we see played out every day in America 's national politics: big government Democrats vs limited government Republicans.

Both Rose and Joseph Kennedy raised phenomenal kids, each and every one of them grew up to be something in life. John F. Kennedy remarkably stood out over his brothers and sisters, he had the kind of charm anyone admired. Early in Kennedy’s career he engaged in journalism that soon led him to joining the House of Representatives in 1946. “At this point he was mainly concerned with domestic politics and showed few signs of the internationalism for which he later became famous” (Kennedy, John F.). Suddenly following in 1952 he was elected Senator for Massachusetts, then marrying his wife Jacqueline Lee Bouvier the following year.

Murrow strongly disagreed with Joseph McCarthy, a Republican Senator who used his political influence to create a Red Scare of communist influence in the U.S. government during the Cold War. Murrow said, “Anyone who criticizes or opposes McCarthy's methods must be a Communist. And if that be true, there are an awful lot of Communists in this country".
