My president was john f Kennedy. His term took place 1961-1963. He was assassinated in 1963, they say "lee Harvey Oswald". Who shot him in the head. Some of the challenges he encountered was getting his civil rights act to level with some people. Many people also dint agrees with his ideas and choices involved in the Cuban missile crisis.
America was different because we were in the vitnob war and many people did not like the fact we were there. Also it was in the 60's so there were old fashion cars, TV’s and toasters.

George Washington was the 1st president of the United States of America. First he was elected Commander and Chief of the Continental Army in 1775. Then time went by with a war going on. Then after the war the Articles of Confederation were formed. George Washington soon noticed that the Articles weren’t working so he became the person that took on the role of fixing the Articles in 1787. Then the new constitution was ratified and then the Electoral College elected George Washington president. Life in America was so much better during his term because he got America going and he was the beginning of the country that we are today.
