__**Why is this so important to history?**__
This is important because the president is an important position in our country. Only two times in our history has the president of the United States been assassinated. The fact that there are conspiracy theories says some thing. The fact if these are true is another. This is important to see if the president was killed by accident or the was some plot.

This event is very important because, if Oswald had not killed Kennedy the historians think that Kennedy would have been one of the greatest presidents. When I was in third grade I did a report on JFK and I realized that he was a great person and would have made a great president. John F. Kennedy was one of the presidents that served in the war and I found a story about him on his PT-boat. The story is called PT-109. PT-boat stands for patrol boat. The story starts off with JFK being sent to Japan and ended up on the boat PT-109. On the way to Japan they ran in to a Japanese submarine and of course the submarine won. JFK and his shipmates were hurt but John was the only person who could move his legs and arms. John took off his belt and put it around one shipmate and jumped over board. Then he put the belt into his mouth and swam one fourth of a mile to an island. He went back to the boat seven times until all of his friends were off the boat and on the the island. When he came back to the US he was considered a war hero. He was married and had two kids. That was when he decided to try and run for president.

The Kennedy assassination was and still is a mysteriousness assassination. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) was killed on Friday November 27, 1963 in Dallas Texas. He was killed by a man named Lee Harvey Oswald. The gun that was used was a 6.5 x 52 mm Italian Mannlicher-Carcano M91/38 bolt-action rifle. The John F Kennedy is an horrible and a tragedy for the US but it is awkward experience. JFK's brother was also assassinated about 4 years later. That helped grow the conspiracy. Since they are brothers with foreign relations most people thought it was an all around plot. Some people think it was just a plot for JFK. Lee Harvey Oswald was from Russia and just applied for US citizenship. Some people think it was a KGB ( the Russian secret service) plot to stop the US in stopping the Soviet Union (USSR) in weapon advancement for Nuclear weapons. Some people assume that is was a inside the government conspiracy because of the secret service stand down more than an accident. In the full video it was not until Mrs. Kennedy tried to put the brain matter back into his head that secret service was seen.

"Hours after President Kennedy was assassinated, FBI agents reportedly listened to a tape of a phone call that a man identifying himself as 'Lee Oswald' had placed to the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City. They made a startling discovery: The voice on the tape was not Oswald's, government records say." -- this comes from a primary source. A news lady was standing near an FBI agent and overheard them talking. The woman who watched the assassination happen said that she would never forget Mrs. Kennedy's scream and the blood all over her hands and blouse."

In 2003, researcher Barr McClellan published the book, //Blood, Money & Power: How L.B.J. Killed J.F.K.// McClellan claims that Lyndon Johnson, motivated by the fear of being dropped from the Kennedy ticket in 1964 and the need to cover up various scandals, masterminded Kennedy's assassination with the help of his friend attorney Edward Clark. The book suggests that a smudged partial fingerprint from the sniper's nest likely belonged to Johnson's associate Malcolm "Mac" Wallace, and that Mac Wallace was therefore the assassin. The book further claims that the killing of Kennedy was paid for by oil ‘magnates including’ Clint Murchison and H. L. Hunt. McClellan's book subsequently became the subject of an episode of Nigel Turner's ongoing documentary television series, // The Men Who Killed Kennedy .// The episode, entitled "The Guilty Men", drew widespread condemnation from both the Johnson family and President Johnson's former aides following its airing on [|The History Channel], which subsequently agreed not to air the episode in the future. This paragraph came from a website on just conspiracies between JFK and other people suspected of helping in the murder of John F. Kennedy. Second primary source.
