Who can post me some information about the Kennedy family?

The Kennedy family are descendants of immigrants who came to the United States from Ireland. In 1848, a poor Irishman named Patrick Kennedy sailed across the ocean and came to Boston in the United States. He was only 26 years old. He quickly found work in a cooperage, earned some money, and settled down to marry a wife and have children. He died of cholera ten years later, and the responsibility for caring for the family fell to his widow. After some years Patrick Joseph, the only boy in the family, grew up. Eager to make money to support his family, he dropped out of school and worked as a porter at the dock. After working to save some money, he opened a beer hall and became a small boss, starting the American dream of getting rich. Patrick Joseph was good at business, and the tavern business was booming. After that, he began to get involved in politics. After successfully running for the state assembly, he married Mary, the daughter of a wealthy hotel owner, and gave birth to his son Joseph Kennedy. Patrick Joseph was a visionary. In order to give his children the best education, he sent his son to Harvard University.

As soon as he graduated from Harvard University, Joseph Kennedy was determined to make money as soon as possible and strive to become a millionaire before the age of 30. Where to make money? Joseph had his own opinion: "If you want to make money, you have to figure out where the money is." He chose banking as the direction to make money. With his father's support, he became the chairman of a bank and claimed to be the youngest bank chairman in the United States. The later history is the history of the Kennedy family's fortune. Joseph made a lot of money by engaging in various speculations. In order for his children to enter the social world more easily in the future, he also moved his family to New York.

After amassing hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, Joseph began to pay attention to political activities, and he paid special attention to a potential presidential candidate. This person was the later famous Franklin Roosevelt. Joseph had known Roosevelt before and believed that he was the leader the country needed, and helping him campaign would also help him enter the political arena. So Joseph began to help Roosevelt raise funds and accompanied Roosevelt on many campaign trips. For unknown reasons, Roosevelt did not entrust him with an important task after he was elected president. He was only appointed chairman of the newly established Securities Management Committee, and Joseph's favorite position was Secretary of the Treasury. Despite this, Joseph remained loyal. In 1935, he "wrote" a book about the campaign, "I Support Roosevelt" (actually he asked a reporter to write it), and then sent the book to Roosevelt for review. Roosevelt only replied with a text message: "The book is good, I am very happy." Joseph regarded this reply as a note as a treasure, framed it and hung it at home, and showed it off whenever guests came. Roosevelt's loyalty to Joseph rewarded him, appointing him ambassador to Britain in 1937. This was something that a descendant of Irish Catholics would have never dared to think about. However, although Joseph was good at making money, he was still very clumsy in politics. He was recalled to the country after less than three years as a diplomat. Roosevelt did not appoint him to any position again, and he disappeared politically. But he was not reconciled. He wanted his four sons to enter politics and reach the top of their official careers.

The Kennedy family has a long-held dream: the presidential dream. Someone in this family must become the president of the United States. Joseph secretly 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. The couple has nine children, and the ones with political potential are naturally four boys. The four boys are the eldest son Joseph Kennedy Jr., the second son John Kennedy, the third son Robert Kennedy, and the fourth son Edward Kennedy. Based on his own experience, Joseph knew that in order for his sons to have status, they must first have money so that they would never have to worry about life. He established trust funds that provided $20 million each to his children and wife.

In the father's mind, the eldest son Joseph Jr. is the most qualified of the four sons to become president. But the ruthless war shattered his wishful thinking. During the war against Germany, little Joseph joined the army and became a pilot. In 1944, he was ordered to blow up Nazi Germany's V-1 missile launcher. While on a mission, the plane he was piloting exploded over the UK due to a malfunction. He and his co-pilot were blown to pieces. This was the first disaster that the Kennedy family encountered in the future. Two weeks later came another bad news. The newly married husband of the second daughter Catherine, the British Lord Hartington, was shot and killed by a German gunman while fighting in France.

A few years later, Catherine, who was widowed, had a new boyfriend, the English Earl Fitzwilliam. On May 13, 1948, the two rented a small plane to go on vacation to France. They both crashed and died in strong winds in the mountains.

After the death of the eldest son, the family's hopes placed more on their second son, John F. Kennedy. According to John F. Kennedy later, "My brother Joseph was the natural choice in the family for politics. If he lived, I would continue to be a writer. If I died, my brother would be a senator. If anything happened to him, my other brother would be a senator." A younger brother will run for us. "A son inherits his father's legacy, and a younger brother inherits his brother's legacy, just like a sequence of political succession.

John F. Kennedy's greatest political success was his election as President of the United States in 1960. His father, Joseph, was the chief planner and chief director of realizing the presidential dream. He spent a lot of money to mobilize the press and publishing industry to promote his son like a bombardment. His son finally became the youngest president in American history. When John F. Kennedy was forming his cabinet, his father asked him to place his younger brother Robert in the cabinet, and Robert got his wish and got the post of Attorney General. This was the political pinnacle of the Kennedy family.

Not long after she was elected president, Jacqueline gave birth to a son for the new president. He was John F. Kennedy Jr., who was killed this time. President Kennedy received the good news on the plane and was immersed in the dual joy of having a son in middle age and entering the White House.

Time flies so fast. In less than three years, Kennedy will be running for re-election. On November 22, 1963, the couple went to Dallas to canvass for re-election. At 12:30 noon, a bullet fired from a building on the street hit Kennedy in the head, shattering his skull and killing him. Three days later was JFK's third birthday. People kept blessing him: "Happy birthday!" "Long life!" Who could have predicted that he would die in the last year of the 20th century.

It is said that the murderer who shot Kennedy was an American named Oswald. However, when he was being tried, he always repeated over and over again: "I am the scapegoat." He was escorted two days later. On the way, Oswald was shot and killed by a nightclub owner named Ruby. Ruby died of cancer in prison after being arrested. To investigate the murder, the U.S. government appointed a commission of inquiry to try to uncover the truth. The committee's investigation concluded that the murder was committed by Oswald alone and had no other special background. Over the past 30 years, many people have been dissatisfied with this conclusion and have made various speculations about the cause of Kennedy's death. Some people believe that during the assassination, another gunman ambush nearby and shot Kennedy in the head. As for the manipulators behind it, there are many theories, including Cuban exiles, Cuban agents, the CIA, and the Mafia. Soviet intelligence agencies and other theories. The great Hollywood director Oliver Stone also made a movie called "JFK" in 1993, implying that powerful figures within the US government planned this conspiracy. The film actually received an Oscar nomination. It seems that the mystery of Kennedy's assassination will not be solved anytime soon.

After President Kennedy was assassinated, Robert F. Kennedy, who served as Attorney General, became the head of the Kennedy family. His mother whispered to him; "Son, it's your turn now." In 1968, Robert decided to run for president, and it seemed possible that the Kennedy family would produce another president. Unfortunately, a young man shot him in the head at a public meeting, and Robert died in the hospital. The murderer was a Palestinian refugee named Sirhan, who hated Robert's strong pro-Semitic tendencies.

After three brothers died unexpectedly, Edward Kennedy was the only surviving figure. He was also striving to reach the top of politics. In 1969, he was elected as the deputy leader of the Senate Democratic Party and was expected to become a popular figure in the 1972 presidential election. But an accident in July 1969 ruined his future. One night he drove the beautiful blonde Miss Kopekne back to the hotel. When he was crossing a small bridge, the car crashed into the river. Edward escaped, but the girl died in the car, and Edward did not report the crime in time. This incident damaged the reputation of the Kennedy family and forced Edward to give up running for president.

The situation is also quite bad among the next generation of the Kennedy family. 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 F. Kennedy Jr. He is handsome, popular, and has the ability to revitalize the Kennedy family politically. Some even estimate that as long as he announces his candidacy, there will not be many people who can compete with him. But this plane crash almost cut off the Kennedy family's last hope. Perhaps the troubled Kennedy family will pin their hopes for a comeback on the next generation
