I was a child, but I recall it as a time when most people were proud of our strong and restrained leadership. Kennedy had the wisdom and courage to say "You shall not pass", and he saw to it. Remember that this was the height of the Cold War, and we feared that the war might be quickly getting "hot". But Kennedy stood firm, and the USSR relented.
JFK had not told the people of America about the Cuban Missile Crisis because it didn't want to worry the people. What JFK did was the best thing for the people and it was the right thing.
The Cuban missile crisis initially boosted President Kennedy's popularity as his handling of the crisis was widely praised. The crisis showcased his strong leadership skills, and many Americans viewed him as successfully standing up to the perceived Soviet threat. However, there were also critics who argued that the crisis was a result of Kennedy's initial failure to prevent the installation of missiles in Cuba, which led to increased tensions with the Soviet Union.
President Carter's popularity declined.
President John F. Kennedy wanted to protect the Freedom Riders. In order to do so he sent out Byron White and 500 federal marshals from the North to protect them.
Kennedy's assassination profoundly impaired the American liberalism.
It caused hiim to get involved in the Vietnam war

President Kennedy's death lead to Lyndon Johnson becoming President. He implemented expensive welfare programs as part of his "War on Poverty". We have paid billions of dollars into those programs, with extremely poor reults. Nonetheless, we are still paying into those programs today. Johnson also expanded the US military involvement in Vietnam.
