John F. Kennedy's New Frontier program was intended to boost the economy, provide international aid, provide for national defense, and to boost the space program. Kennedy made a point to control monopoly prices, and although this made him unpopular with large companies, it prevented consumers from being forced to pay more than a product was worth. He also was an advocate of civil rights, and although he was unsuccessful at passing legislation during his lifetime, he paved the way for the reform that would come later. He also managed to increase the minimum wage.
On the international scale he accomplished two major things. The first of these was the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps sent teachers to poorer nations to help increase education levels and bolster their economies. The second was the Alliance for Progress, which provided aid in health and education in Latin America. John F. Kennedy also built up the armed forces ground troops and signed the Partial Test Ban Treaty with the Soviet Union. This treaty agreed that both countries would stop all nuclear testing in the atmosphere and limit it to underground. The space program was another thing strongly advocated by Kennedy. After the Soviet Union launched a cosmonaut into space in 1961, Kennedy challenged the US to put a man on the Moon by 1970.
Overall, Kennedy's New Frontier Program was successful in boosting the economy, as well as paving the way for many political, international and social reforms.
