thanks I highly admire this speech!!!! RIP John F. Kennedy, today is the 47th anniversary of his death.

Yes, it is! I was teaching a high school sophomore class when we got the news. We had a few minutes of silence before we began discussing it.

that's very admirable of you!

I'm stuck on another question about Nixon ... it says

Nixon's policy regarding Vietnam was:
A. very popular
B. becoming very unpopular, particularly among Senators.
C. in step with most young voters.

I think it's B because I'm almost 100% sure that the policy was unpopular among people.

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the provided options and use some historical context:

A. The fact that John F. Kennedy was Catholic was indeed an issue that he felt he needed to discuss during his presidential campaign. As a Catholic running for president in a predominantly Protestant nation, Kennedy faced concerns about whether his religious beliefs would influence his policy decisions.

B. While the issue of Kennedy's Catholicism was a point of discussion during the 1960 election, it was not considered a significant, determining factor for most voters. Kennedy effectively managed to navigate this issue and address any concerns that arose.

C. Given the historical context, option C seems to be the most accurate answer. Kennedy's campaign team worked actively to handle the issue of his Catholicism, reassuring voters that his religious beliefs would not interfere with his presidential duties. Kennedy delivered a famous speech in September 1960 to a gathering of Protestant ministers in Houston, Texas, where he addressed the issue directly and emphasized a separation of church and state.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. The fact that John F. Kennedy was Catholic was dealt with effectively by Kennedy during the election of 1960.
