F.KennedyKennedy’s New Frontier President Kennedy was trying to renew America’s “place” and prestige in the world. He talked of the New Frontier Program, and this he hoped would boost the U.
S. economy, aiding third world countries, and building up the U. S. National defense. Kennedy gave tax breaks and credits to many large corporations to help the national economy. He helped protect consumers by keeping an eye on prices in businesses.
The New Frontier program was intended to increase the economy, to provide international aid, provide for national defense, and to improve the space program.On the international scale he achieved two major things. The first of these was the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps sent teachers to poorer nations to help increase education levels and bolster their economies. The second was the Alliance for Progress, which provided aid in health and education in Latin America. John F.
Kennedy built up the armed forces ground troops and signed the Partial Test Ban Treaty with the Soviet Union. This treaty agreed that both countries would stop all nuclear testing in the atmosphere and limit it to underground.The space program was another thing strongly supported by him. Soviet Union launched a cosmonaut into space. Kennedy then challenged the U.
S. to put a man on the Moon after the Soviet Union’s cosmonaut. The New Frontier was President Kennedy’s hope to unite the people to do great things. It was more than just going to the moon. LBJ (Johnson), President Kennedy’s running mate had the idea of making “The Great Society”. On a sunny day in Dallas Kennedy’s dream was put to an end.
President Kennedy’s New Frontier, still remains with us today.
