JFK's visit to Texas

The Presidents Final Journey.

Reasons for going to Texas

The President JFK was on a presidential visit to the state of Texas. The presidents main goals in Texas were to gain money for the democrat party for the elections, to gain more people to vote for him in the reelection from Texas since he almost lost it in the vote and lost Dallas in the voting last time, and finally to mend the fighting going on between the democratic party in Texas.

The Car Ride

Before the shooting:

In the drive it was a normal time and the cars only stopped twice. One time so JFK could shake hands with nuns and the second to greet school children. Everything was fine till they passed the Stemmons Freeway sign.
