The Kennedy family of the four major families

The third one is the Kennedy family that everyone is very familiar with. The Kennedy family is descended from immigrants who came to the United States from Ireland. Kennedy's great-grandfather was a native of Wexford, Ireland, and served as a congressman from Massachusetts. The Kennedy family arose during the time of Joseph Patrick Kennedy. At the age of 25, Kennedy was president of a Boston bank. When he married the daughter of the mayor of Boston, he began to enter the inner circle of local politics. Later, he was able to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Britain because of his support for Franklin Roosevelt's successful election as president. He had nine children, four sons and five daughters, and John F. Kennedy was the second son. The Kennedy family has a long-held dream: the presidential dream. Someone in this family must become the president of the United States. Joseph once swore when he was praying in church: I have reached the highest peak of wealth, and I want my son to reach the highest peak of power. Joseph Kennedy's four sons, except for the eldest son who died in a plane crash in his early years, the other three sons are all prominent figures in politics. John F. Kennedy first served as a senator and was elected as the 35th President of the United States in 1961. He was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Robert Kennedy, who served as a senator and then attorney general, was shot and died in a Los Angeles hotel on the morning of June 5, 1968. The youngest Edward Kennedy was also a senator. Edward Kennedy was elected to the Senate in 1962. He served as a U.S. Senator for forty-seven years. Edward Kennedy is one of five senators in U.S. history who served in the Senate for more than forty years. Edward Kennedy, the most promising of the Kennedys, failed to run for president. However, American politicians believe that this may be his luck, because he was the only one of the four brothers to die normally. As some people say, if he is elected president (or even nominated to run for president), he is likely to follow in the footsteps of his two brothers.

The situation of the next generation of the Kennedy family is not good. Several people are crazy drug addicts. Robert Kennedy’s son Bobby was sentenced for drug abuse in 1983. His younger brother David was even worse, dying of a drug addiction the following year. Originally, the family's last hope rested on John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. He is handsome, popular, and has the ability to revitalize the Kennedy family. But a plane crash cut off the Kennedy family's last hope. Perhaps the troubled Kennedy family will pin its hopes for a comeback on the next generation. In 1960, the American "Happiness" magazine ranked the Kennedy family as the twelfth largest family in the United States, with estimated assets of US$200-400 million (about US$7 billion today). According to statistics, there are currently 26 members of the Kennedy family active in American politics.
