why was u. s. pres. john f. kennedy in texas on november 22, 1963?
pres. john f. kennedy believed that his republican opponent in the 1964 u. s. presidential election would be sen. barry goldwater of arizona. kennedy was convinced that he could bury goldwater under an avalanche of votes. one obstacle to his success was a feud in vice pres. lyndon b. johnson’s home state of texas between gov. john b. connally, jr., and sen. ralph yarborough, both democrats. to present a show of unity, kennedy decided to tour the state with both men. kennedy began the tour—with his wife, jacqueline kennedy, and johnson—on november 21, 1963, in san antonio, with visits to houston and forth worth that same day. the next day they flew to dallas. while kennedy was riding in an open limousine in downtown dallas on his way to give a speech, he was shot and killed. (connally was also gravely wounded; however, he recovered.) although kennedy did not survive to see the presidential election of 1964, his prediction was correct: goldwater did, in fact, run for president.
not accepting 'twenty-four-year-old lee harvey oswald was the accused murderer of u. s. pres. john f. kennedy. oswald was a former u. s. marine who embraced marxism and defected, for a time, to the soviet union. oswald never stood trial for the murder. on sunday, november 24, 1963, two days after kennedy’s assassination, oswald was shot to death by jack ruby, a local nightclub owner with connections to the criminal underworld, in the basement of dallas city hall.
a special president’s commission on the assassination of president john f. kennedy, better known as the warren commission because it was headed by chief justice earl warren, investigated the assassination from november 1963 to september 1964. its report concluded that neither oswald nor ruby “was part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate president kennedy.” however, in march 1979, after a two-year investigation, a special house select committee on assassinations reported that a second assassin may also have fired a shot and that there may have been a conspiracy. the evidence remains highly debatable.'
