He has only one child, Patrick Joseph, who is a key figure in the rise of the Kennedy family. The young man started as a porter and suffered a lot, but in the end he was able to complete the primitive accumulation with sweat and blood, and then he opened a pub, with which he earned a lot of wealth. When they got rich, they carefully packaged themselves, married a white man by the way, and finally got elected to the state legislature. Since then, the Kennedy family has officially entered politics.
This Kennedy II is not an ordinary person. He is far-sighted. He knows that Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about the world, so he pays attention to cultivating interpersonal circles, so he spends a lot of money to send his son Joseph Kennedy to Harvard University. On the other hand, Kennedy III was a thoroughly rich boy. With the help of his father, he became the chairman of a bank at an early age.
But unlike other ordinary rich second generation, Joseph Kennedy, a rich second generation, is very good at fighting, accumulating hundreds of millions of dollars, and suddenly making a qualitative leap. In addition, Joseph Kennedy has a unique eye, and made great efforts to help a new political star to ascend to the presidency of the United States, that is, the famous franklin roosevelt. Later, President Roosevelt also knew how to repay, and directly appointed Joseph Kennedy as the ambassador to Britain. You know, for the Irish, this position is rather arrogant, and those British people dare not offend him. You know, the Kennedy family went to America because they couldn't stay under British rule. In addition, you should know that the ambassador to Britain is a reward for meritorious officials. This time, Biden wants to thank Obama and intends to send him as the ambassador to Britain.
By Kennedy IV, the generation of American President John F. Kennedy, all the foundations had been laid. Ask for money, have connections, and understand political operations. Under the cultivation of Joseph Kennedy, the Kennedy family launched an all-round attack. 1960 After the American presidential election, the presidency fell to John F. Kennedy. In addition, his two younger brothers, Robert Kennedy and Edward Kennedy, hold important positions in the federal government, because the President of the United States can divide the spoils reasonably, just as the ancient emperor can appoint eunuchs as imperial envoys. For a time, the Kennedy family was in full swing. From 1947, John F. Kennedy entered Congress, and from 20 1 1, Patrick Kennedy left Congress. The Kennedy family has held public office in Washington for 64 years. It is a bit excessive to call the United States a "royal family", but it is no problem to call it the top American giant.
But if you want to wear the crown, you must put up with it. This American giant is not good at all, even difficult, because the fate of the giant is matched by constant bad luck.
As we all know, John F. Kennedy was arranged by gunmen and died after getting into a convertible. But the nightmare of the Kennedy family never started with him, but with Joseph Kennedy. 1944, joseph kennedy fought the battle of Cupid, but his bomber exploded for unknown reasons and may have been forgotten. After all, he died for his country. But a few years later, kathleen kennedy was killed in a plane crash on 1948, which was a bit magical from the beginning.
1963, Rick Bouvier Kennedy, the son of John F. Kennedy, died of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and he himself got into a convertible in the same year. 1968, American presidential candidate Robert Francis Kennedy was assassinated like his brother. Then there are all kinds of tricks for the Kennedy family to die. For example, David Anthony Kennedy od'd and died suddenly in a hotel room in Palm Beach, Florida. This is self-inflicted. Michael Kennedy crashed into a tree while skiing, John Kennedy Jr. died in a plane accident, Carla Kennedy died in a gym, Mary Kennedy hanged herself, and Saul Kennedy Hill died of an overdose.
Even in this year, some people in the Kennedy family died in an accident. Maeve Kennedy Townsend McKean and her son died in a canoe capsizing accident. It can be said that this family has constant nightmares and always feels that an invisible hand is persecuting them.
