  5. THE NEW FRONTIER CHAPTER 29 SECTION 1

  6. A New Type of Candidate Democratic Senator John F. Kennedy had served in the House and Senate for 14 years when he ran for President in 1960. Some questioned JFK’s candidacy because of his young age, 43, and his Roman Catholic religious beliefs. Kennedy proved to be an engaging television personality during the 1960 presidential debates, the first such debates to be televised. A Narrow Kennedy Victory Kennedy won the 1960 election by an extremely close margin. Kennedy defeated his opponent, Republican Richard Nixon, by fewer than 119,000 popular votes out of nearly 69 million cast. Because of the close election, Kennedy entered office without a mandate, or public endorsement of his proposals. The Election of 1960 WRITE THIS DOWN!

  7. Kennedy’s Domestic Programs • In a speech early in his presidency, Kennedy said that the nation was poised at the edge of a “New Frontier.” • This phrase came to refer to Kennedy’s proposals to (1) improve the economy, (2) assist the poor, and (3) speed up the space program. • Kennedy’s efforts to improve the economy included ordering a federal investigation into steel price fixing and proposing a large tax cut. His tax cut proposal, however, became stuck in Congress. • Many of Kennedy’s proposals aimed to combat poverty and inequality. • Although some were rejected by Congress, others were passed. • These included an increase in the minimum wage, funding for urban renewal, abolishment of poll taxes, and the Equal Pay Act, which required all employees doing the same work in the same workplace to receive equal wages.

  9. WRITE THIS DOWN! The Space Program • The Soviet Union’s launch of the Sputnik satellite in 1957 inspired the United States to work toward placing a manned spacecraft in orbit. • In April 1961, Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel in space. • Americans worried that their technology was falling behind that of the Soviet Union. • Funding for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was increased. • In 1961 and 1962, American astronauts made initial space flights. • On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon.

  10. WRITE THIS DOWN! Kennedy Is Assassinated • On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was shot while riding in an open limousine through Dallas, Texas. • He had traveled to Texas to mobilize support for his upcoming reelection campaign. • Shots fired from the sixth-floor window of the empty Texas School Book Depository mortally wounded Kennedy, making Vice President Lyndon Johnson the new President. • The prime suspect in Kennedy’s murder, Lee Harvey Oswald, was murdered by a man named Jack Ruby two days later, while being transferred from one jail to another. • To investigate Kennedy’s murder, President Johnson appointed The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, better known as the Warren Commission,named after its chairman, Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. • The Warren Commission determined that Oswald had acted alone. • However, theories that Oswald and Ruby had belonged to a conspiracy persisted.
