1963: NOVEMBER 22.


President John Fitzgerald Kennedy came to Dallas to kick start his reelection campaign. he carried the south and barely defeated Vice President Nixon in 1960. Whether his opponent was Barry Goldwater or Nelson Rockefeller The president needed the south to win in 1964.

The election campaign almost ended before it began.

A Secret Service agent, by the name of Paul Landis, very quickly, jumped out of the car that followed the President's car and grabbed a hold of the President. After the President is shot
hit the

Secret Service agent that would have fatally struck and killed the President, had he not been present. Sadly The brave secret service agent died for the president

that day. Now the search for the shooter or shooters began!

Oswald was wounded by Tippit and the officer drove Oswald to the hospital.
and the attempted assassination of the president would have a trial and it would be the trial of the century.

President Kennedy would awaken after a successful surgery.

Senator Goldwater won the 1964 Republican primarry but to liberal Republicans he was unaceptable to be put forth as a canidate.

Governor William Scrcanton was succesfuy drafted as a candidate .not long after words Carolina senator decared a third party run.

In the Presidential Debate, President Kennedy defended his foreign poilcy citing how the Cuban missle crisis ended without a shot fired or a solider with boots on the ground.

William Scranton on the other hand said the cuban missle crisis could cause the Soviet Union to be less interested in peace talks and build up their nucklear arsenal heating up the cold war.Scranton also critsized Kennedy not getting a civil rights bill passed ending segergation.Kennedy responeded conservatives are tieing up any bil frombeing passed.

I'm...really confused here. Not just by the formatting but also the subject. Are you asking what would have happened with Vietnam if JFK hadn't been assassinated?

If so, then it's difficult to say but probably not the level of escalation we actually saw. However, that has other issues since if the Tet Offensive were to occur and a complete U.S. pullout ensued, it would mean the 1968 election would be rocked with allegations of losing South Vietnam to the Communists, or, at best, being Finlandized, and that won't bode well for the Democrats (first nearly losing South Korea in the 1950s and then losing South Vietnam). It may well result in a more confrontational attitude towards the Communist Bloc in the 1970s, and Reagan might gain traction earlier.
