I need help to write the research paper about the similarities between President Lincoln and President Kennedy. I have been working on it almost done, but I still lack of the similarities of them about the marriage, so I really need help with that. By the way, could you please go over my Research paper and give me some feedback? I really appreciate it
Here is my research paper.
1. Education Of Presidents
In the year 1809, future President Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin in the state of Kentucky. His formal education was limited, but he taught himself and educated himself independently, developing a keen interest in politics and literature along the way. Lincoln first won a seat in the Illinois state legislature in the year 1834, and then he won a seat in the United States House of Representatives in the year 1846. Between the years 1861 and 1865, he was the 16th President of the United States of America in 1860, during which time he successfully guided the country through the American Civil War. His most famous works are the Emancipation Proclamation and the Address Delivered at Gettysburg, both of which helped to establish him as one of the most influential presidents in United States history. In addition, John Fitzgerald Kennedy became the 35th President of the United States in 1917. Before serving in the military during World War II, he received an education at prestigious institutions such as Harvard University. After winning a seat in Congress for the first time in 1946, John F. Kennedy went on to become the 35th President of the United States in 1960. His efforts to ease tensions during the Cold War, his dedication to the cause of civil rights, and his well-known speech entitled “New Frontier” are what people remember him for the most. Both presidents were tragically killed while still serving in their respective offices. In conclusion, the day when the two presidents were elected was unexplainable; they were only a century apart. Besides, they became the Presidents of the United States of America during the frightful war; President Lincoln in the midst of the Civil War, and Kennedy during the Cold War. Also, they both introduced sweeping domestic policy initiatives, such as the Emancipation Proclamation and the New Frontier.
2. The Assassination Of Presidents
A month after beginning his second term as president of the United States, John Wilkes Booth ( May 10, 1838 – April 26, 1865 ), a theater actor, and fervent Confederate, killed Abraham Lincoln in April 1865. His plan to assassinate the president was initially intended to be an abduction instead of an assassination. Just before Lincoln’s reelection in the summer of 1864, Booth began to think that the best way to help the Confederacy was to kidnap the president, take him to Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital, and hold him hostage there until the Union freed all Confederate prisoners of war. For some reason, Booth resolved to murder Lincoln after several unsuccessful attempts. Booth saw his opportunity to strike when, on April 14, 1865, a friend told him that President Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant and their wives would be attending a performance at Ford’s Theater that evening. On that day, they began their assassination of the president. After the death of President Lincoln, this event shocked the whole country, even the American people at that period. In addition, shortly after noon on November 22, 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald ( October 18, 1939 – November 24, 1963 )while he was riding in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas, Texas but President Kennedy especially was shot twice from behind his head and he drew his last breath after he was brought to the hospital. A short time later, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested in a Dallas movie theater and charged with the murders of Kennedy. After this event, the American public was shocked by the assassination of U.S Leader. In Sum, we night notice the similarities between the death of the two Presidents. Firstly, Both were shot on a Friday: Lincoln was shot on Good Friday, April 14, 1865, and Kennedy was shot on Friday, November 22, 1963. Secondly, Both assassins, John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, were born in 1939 and were known by their three names, composed of fifteen letters. Lastly, they were both Southerners. Also, Both Oswald and Booth were killed before they could be put on trial.
3. The Political Careers of Presidents
In addition to the parallels that exist between their private lives, there are several parallels to be found between the political careers of Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy. On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) of the Republican Party was elected as U.S. president at the beginning of the Civil War which caused many American people to live in infamy, especially African Americans at that time. President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. This was an order for Union forces to free all enslaved people in the rebellious states. However, the order excluded some areas and border states in the Union where slavery was still legal. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which let African Americans enlist in the Union troops, knowing that doing so would keep Europe out of the war and boost the number of men for the Union. To defeat the Confederate armies commanded by Generals Robert E. Lee (1807-1870) and Stonewall Jackson, more than 180,000 African American soldiers and sailors volunteered to participate in the war. On November 19, 1863, at the cemetery’s dedication, President Lincoln finally spoke after four years of campaigning for civil rights. In addition, at the end of World War II, the Cold War began, leading to a new era of tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Civil Rights Movement continued to gain momentum in the following decades, ultimately leading to significant legislative changes and advancements in equality for African Americans. To bring the Cold War to a close, President Kennedy warned of the Soviet Union’s expanding stockpile of intercontinental ballistic missiles and committed to reactivate American nuclear weapons. He also chastised the Eisenhower administration for allowing the development of a pro-Soviet government in Cuba, which resulted in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Despite these difficulties, Kennedy’s administration was distinguished by a dedication to civil rights and social justice. He founded the Peace Corps to encourage worldwide collaboration and helped kickstart the space race by promising to land a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Kennedy’s legacy continues to inspire future generations of Americans, who remember his administration as one of enormous development and opportunity. Thereby, we might visualize that both of them were concerned about the Civil Rights movement: Lincoln felt strongly that all slaves should be freed and issued the Emancipation Proclamation , which legally freed slaves within the Confederacy; Kennedy was concerned with racial equality and was the first to propose what would be the Civil Right Acts of 1964.
