Introduction - @gelo_9000


On November 22nd, 1963, tragedy struck the United States of America as President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated in front of the entire world. On that day, assassin Lee Harvey Oswald fired multiple shots at President Kennedy in his motorcade, killing him and wounding others. (Chapter 1) However many don’t believe Oswald was solely responsible for the assassination of the president. While no one doubts that Oswald fired shots at the president, many people believed he was assisted in his assassination by either other gunman or by a higher authority that was paying him to do the job.   Some believe that the Mafia was at work. Others think the CIA was behind Kennedy’s death. (Saad)  In a 2003 poll, 17% of people claimed that Kennedy was the greatest president of all time, tied with Abraham Lincoln. (Saad)  Many people do not think a lone gunman could be responsible for the death of such a great man and therefore could not have done the deed alone.
