John Kennedy
On November 22,1963,when he was hardly past his first thousand days in office,John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullets as his motorcade wound through Dallas,Texas.Kennedy was the youngest man elected President; he was the youngest to die.
Of Irish descent,he was born in Brookline,Massachusetts,on May 29,1917.Graduating from Harvard in 1940,he entered the Navy.In 1943,when his PT boat was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer,Kennedy,despite grave injuries,led the survivors through perilous waters to safety.
Back from the war,he became a Democratic Congressman from the Boston area,advancing in 1953 to the Senate.He married Jacqueline Bouvier on September 12,1953.In 1955,while recuperating from a back operation,he wrote Profiles in Courage,which won the Pulitzer Prize in history.
In 1956 Kennedy almost gained the Democratic nomination for Vice President,and four years later was a first-ballot nominee for President.Millions watched his television debates with the Republican candidate,Richard M.Nixon.Winning by a narrow margin in the popular vote,Kennedy became the first Roman Catholic President.
His Inaugural Address offered the memorable injunction:"Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country." As President,he set out to redeem his campaign pledge to get America moving again.His economic programs launched the country on its longest sustained expansion since World War II; before his death,he laid plans for a massive assault on persisting pockets of privation and poverty.
Responding to ever more urgent demands,he took vigorous action in the cause of equal rights,calling for new civil rights legislation.His vision of America extended to the quality of the national culture and the central role of the arts in a vital society.
He wished America to resume its old mission as the first nation dedicated to the revolution of human rights.With the Alliance for Progress and the Peace Corps,he brought American idealism to the aid of developing nations.But the hard reality of the Communist challenge remained.
Shortly after his inauguration,Kennedy permitted a band of Cuban exiles,already armed and trained,to invade their homeland.The attempt to overthrow the regime of Fidel Castro was a failure.Soon thereafter,the Soviet Union renewed its campaign against West Berlin.Kennedy replied by reinforcing the Berlin garrison and increasing the Nation's military strength,including new efforts in outer space.Confronted by this reaction,Moscow,after the erection of the Berlin Wall,relaxed its pressure in central Europe.
Instead,the Russians now sought to install nuclear missiles in Cuba.When this was discovered by air reconnaissance in October 1962,Kennedy imposed a quarantine on all offensive weapons bound for Cuba.While the world trembled on the brink of nuclear war,the Russians backed down and agreed to take the missiles away.The American response to the Cuban crisis evidently persuaded Moscow of the futility of nuclear blackmail.
Kennedy now contended that both sides had a vital interest in stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and slowing the arms race--a contention which led to the test ban treaty of 1963.The months after the Cuban crisis showed significant progress toward his goal of "a world of law and free choice,banishing the world of war and coercion." His administration thus saw the beginning of new hope for both the equal rights of Americans and the peace of the world.
Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln warned the South in his Inaugural Address:"In your hands,my dissatisfied fellow countrymen,and not in mine,is the momentous issue of civil war.The government will not assail you.You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the government,while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve,protect and defend it."
Lincoln thought secession illegal,and was willing to use force to defend Federal law and the Union.When Confederate batteries fired on Fort Sumter and forced its surrender,he called on the states for 75,000 volunteers.Four more slave states joined the Confederacy but four remained within the Union.The Civil War had begun.
The son of a Kentucky frontiersman,Lincoln had to struggle for a living and for learning.Five months before receiving his party's nomination for President,he sketched his life:
"I was born Feb.12,1809,in Hardin County,Kentucky.My parents were both born in Virginia,of undistinguished families--second families,perhaps I should say.My mother,who died in my tenth year,was of a family of the name of Hanks.My father ...removed from Kentucky to ...Indiana,in my eighth year.It was a wild region,with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods.There I grew up.Of course when I came of age I did not know much.Still somehow,I could read,write,and cipher ...but that was all."
Lincoln made extraordinary efforts to attain knowledge while working on a farm,splitting rails for fences,and keeping store at New Salem,Illinois.He was a captain in the Black Hawk War,spent eight years in the Illinois legislature,and rode the circuit of courts for many years.His law partner said of him,"His ambition was a little engine that knew no rest."
He married Mary Todd,and they had four boys,only one of whom lived to maturity.In 1858 Lincoln ran against Stephen A.Douglas for Senator.He lost the election,but in debating with Douglas he gained a national reputation that won him the Republican nomination for President in 1860.
As President,he built the Republican Party into a strong national organization.Further,he rallied most of the northern Democrats to the Union cause.On January 1,1863,he issued the Emancipation Proclamation that declared forever free those slaves within the Confederacy.
Lincoln never let the world forget that the Civil War involved an even larger issue.This he stated most movingly in dedicating the military cemetery at Gettysburg:"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation,under God,shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people,by the people,for the people,shall not perish from the earth."
Lincoln won re-election in 1864,as Union military triumphs heralded an end to the war.In his planning for peace,the President was flexible and generous,encouraging Southerners to lay down their arms and join speedily in reunion.
The spirit that guided him was clearly that of his Second Inaugural Address,now inscribed on one wall of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,D.C.:"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right,as God gives us to see the right,let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds."
On Good Friday,April 14,1865,Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theatre in Washington by John Wilkes Booth,an actor,who somehow thought he was helping the South.The opposite was the result,for with Lincoln's death,the possibility of peace with magnanimity died.
