The correct sentence is:

The correct sentence with the appropriate punctuation is:
"On November 22, 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated, and American history was forever altered."
To understand why this is the correct punctuation, let's break down the sentence and look at each component:
1. "On November 22, 1963" - The date is separated from the rest of the sentence by commas. In this case, the commas are necessary to set off the specific date.
2. "President Kennedy was assassinated" - This is the main action of the sentence and does not require additional punctuation.
3. "and" - This conjunction connects the two related ideas: President Kennedy's assassination and the alteration of American history. The conjunction "and" does not require additional punctuation.
4. "American history was forever altered" - This is the second part of the main action and does not require additional punctuation.
So, with the correct punctuation, the sentence should read: "On November 22, 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated, and American history was forever altered."
