What big families are there in America?

Adams and his son

The first is the Adams family at the beginning of the founding of the United States. John adams and john quincy adams. Father and son have served as the second and sixth presidents of the United States. The Adams family is closely related to American history: samuel adams personally participated in initiating and organizing the American Revolution of Independence; John adams was one of the four drafters of the American Declaration of Independence, the first vice president and the second president. John adams's son, john quincy adams, served as ambassador to Prussia, the Netherlands and Russia, member of the House of Representatives and Secretary of State after the independence of the United States, and later became the sixth president of the United States. Some people joke that the Adams family is "the first dynasty in American history", which is not an exaggeration, because only three founders of the United States of America, such as Washington, Franklin and Jefferson, can compare with it, but none of them has a male legal heir.

The second family is the Roosevelt family. The Roosevelt family has a history of more than 300 years in America. while

Roosevelt

However, as we all know, there are two American presidents from this family. In this family, theodore roosevelt and franklin roosevelt's uncles both served as presidents of the United States. Theodore roosevelt became president at the age of 43. 1905 was re-elected as president. The famous expansionist policy of "carrots and sticks" came from the hands of old Roosevelt. Franklin roosevelt is his distant nephew, and he is more famous. He is the only person in American history who has been re-elected for four terms. From March of 1933 until his death in April of 1945, he served for 12 years.

France "provides weapons and materials to allies. 194 1 At the end of the year, the United States entered the war. Roosevelt represented the United States twice at the meeting of the "Big Three" of the Allies. Roosevelt died of cerebral hemorrhage in his office at the age of 63.

In addition to political success, the Roosevelt family is also famous in the business field. When new york was founded, most of the properties in Manhattan from 22nd Street to 46th Street and Fifth Avenue to Hudson River were owned by the Roosevelt family. Many American metropolises can see roads, highways and buildings named after the Roosevelt family, including the famous aircraft carrier Roosevelt of the US Navy. From the19th century, the Roosevelt family began to develop in finance and investment, and made great achievements. In addition to managing their own family assets, the Roosevelt family also manages the funds entrusted by others. Roosevelt Trust Fund has a history of more than 100 years, and has a large number of investments all over the world.

Kennedy family

Kennedy brothers

The third is the well-known Kennedy family. The Kennedys are descendants of immigrants from Ireland to the United States. Kennedy's great-grandfather came from Wexford, Ireland, and was a senator from Massachusetts. The Kennedy family rose during the period of Joseph Patrick Kennedy. Kennedy was the president of a bank in Boston at the age of 25. When he married the daughter of the mayor of Boston, he began to enter the inner circle of local politics.

Later, he supported franklin roosevelt's successful election as president and became the American ambassador to Britain. He has nine children, four sons and five daughters, and John F. Kennedy is the second. The Kennedy family has a long-standing dream: the presidential dream. Someone in this family must become the president of the United States. Joseph once swore in church prayer: I have reached the peak of wealth, and I will let my son reach the peak of power. Joseph Kennedy's four sons, except the eldest son who died in an air crash in his early years, are all important politicians. John F. Kennedy served as a senator for the first time. He was elected as the 35th president of the United States in 196 1 and was assassinated on October 22nd. Robert Kennedy, a former senator and attorney general, was shot and killed in a Los Angeles hotel on the morning of June 5, 1968. The youngest Edward Kennedy is also a senator. Edward Kennedy 1962 was elected as a senator. He served as a US senator for 47 years. There are five senators in American history who have served as senators for more than forty years, and Edward Kennedy is one of them. Edward Kennedy was the most promising person in the Kennedy family, but he didn't succeed in the election. However, American politicians think it may be his luck, because he is the only one of the four brothers who died of natural causes. As some people say, if he is elected president (even if he is nominated to run for president), he is likely to follow in the footsteps of his two brothers.

The situation of the next generation of Kennedy family is not so good. Several people are "addicts" who are crazy about taking drugs. Robert Kennedy's son Bobby was sentenced on 1983 for taking drugs. His brother David is even worse. The next year, he died of drug abuse. It turned out that the family's last hope was pinned on little john fitzgerald kennedy. He is handsome, very popular and has the strength to revitalize the Kennedy family. But an air crash cut off the Kennedy family's last hope. Perhaps the troubled Kennedy family should pin their hopes for a comeback on the next generation. 1960, Happiness magazine listed the Kennedy family as the twelfth largest family in the United States, with assets of 200-400 million US dollars (about 7 billion US dollars now). According to statistics, 26 Kennedy family members are active in American politics.

bush family

Bush senior, Bush junior and Jeb Bush.

The fourth family is the Bush family. The Bush family's politics can be traced back at least four generations.

George W. Bush's great-grandfather Samuel P. Bush was a steel and oil tycoon. He served as the chairman of the National Merchants Association and an adviser to President Hoover. The first person to gain a foothold in politics was George H.W. Bush's grandfather Prescott bush. After doing business, he entered politics. He served as a federal senator for many years and got to know President Eisenhower, which laid the foundation for later generations to go into politics. Prescott's son, george herbert walker bush, once held important positions as a member of Congress, ambassador to the United Nations and director of the Central Intelligence Agency. He was re-elected as two vice presidents during the Reagan administration and became the president of the United States from 65438 to 0989. Today, his two sons have become important figures in American politics. The development track of the eldest son george walker bush is very similar to that of his father. After graduating from Yale University, he entered the oil industry and later became the governor of Texas, and was re-elected as the president of the United States for two terms. The second son, Jeb Bush, was re-elected as governor of Florida for two terms. The next generation of the Bush family is also keen to expand the family's political territory. George Prescott bush, the eldest grandson of George H.W. Bush, is a political descendant of this family and is called "President Bush III".
