Also, he was known to have constantly beat his mother throughout his teenage years. At the age of 13, Oswald was placed into an institution called the Youth House, “an institution in which children are kept for psychiatric observation or for detention pending court appearance or commitment to a child-caring or D institution such as a training school,” by his mother. While there a doctor attending to Oswald summarized his report by stating, “This 13 year old well built boy has superior mental resources and functions only slightly below his capacity level in spite of chronic truancy from school which brought him into Youth House. No finding of neurological impairment or psychotic mental changes could be made. Lee has to be diagnosed as "personality pattern disturbance with schizoid features and passive--aggressive tendencies." Lee has to be seen as an emotionally, quite disturbed youngster who suffers under the impact of really existing emotional isolation and deprivation, lack of affection, absence of family life and rejection by a self involved and conflicted mother.” This report made by the doctor only showed how damaged Oswald was in his childhood. After making the report the same doctor made the recommendation that Lee Harvey Oswald find help by attending a child guidance clinic, where he would

The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the most controversial and debated topics in American History. JFK was one of the most beloved presidents of our time. One article of his death wrote, "The day the country cried". Unlike previous presidential assassinations, the JFK assassination is one that is filled the conspiracy theories. Such theories include a Government cover-up, Mafia influence and Cuban President Fidel Castro. The idea of a lone mind, Lee Harvey Oswald, plotting to kill President Kennedy is too simple. In the eyes of scholars there is simply no way that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Even with the growing number of bogus theories, there are a number of logical theories that do hold water. In this paper I will discuss

Two days after the JFK assassination, the official suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald, was shot dead by Jack Ruby, a Dallas strip club owner. Oswald’s famous remark that “I’m just a patsy” (Warren Commission Hearings, vol.20, p.366) inevitably led to suspicions that his murder was a convenient execution.

John F. Kennedy, the youngest elected and first catholic president was campaigning for a second term when he was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The accused shooter Lee Harvey Oswald, was first arrested for killing a police officer at point blank. It was shortly after the shooting when he was arrested with a gun in his possession at a nearby movie theater. He was then later accused of killing President Kennedy. The evidence presents that there could be alternatives to the official account that was made about the accuser. Conspiracies suggest Oswald acted alone, was framed, or worked with an organization to commit this crime.

This investigation will answer the question: To what extent did Lee Harvey Oswald’s history predispose him to kill John F. Kennedy? To determine the extent to which childhood and previous jobs influenced Oswald to assassinate the President, the scope of the investigation will focus on Lee Harvey Oswald and his relationships with political groups. It will also examine Oswald’s youth and the actions of previous life events. Only secondary sources about the assassination will be used in this examination.

Oswald defected to the soviet union, Oswald was also shot and killed by club owner Jack Ruby. Ruby was known to have background with the mob, organized crime. This bring about two possible motives behind Oswald doing what he did. During his time with the Soviet Union he could have perfected his marksmanship and also could have been motivated to kill the president. America and the Soviet Union were very much enemies at this time which further supports that they were assisting Oswald. Jack Ruby supports the theory that the mob was behind this. There are a number of reasons why the mob would want to kill Kennedy. Jack Ruby was a nightclub owner he was known to have direct relations with the mob. The mob could have forced him to take out Oswald

The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large; and that evidence was such that he would have been convicted at trial. Unfortunately the facts on Oswald seem about too pat- too obvious (Marxist, Cuba, Russian wife, etc.) The Dallas police have put out statements on the Communist conspiracy theory and it was they who were in charge when he was shot and thus silenced (“The JFK Assassination” 2.)

People think he was he serving as an agent of Cuba's Fidel Castro, himself the target of American assassins? Or in squeezing the trigger of his carbine was he undertaking some super dirty trick for a CIA anxious to rid itself of a president whose faith in the "company" had evaporated in the wake of the Bay of Pigs fiasco? Or was he representing a group of Cuban exiles, the Teamsters Union, the Mafia? Indeed was it Lee Harvey Oswald at all who killed JFK?

Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” On November 22nd 1963, John F. Kennedy was shot three times. The assassinator was Lee Harvey Oswald. John F. Kennedy was shot from the sixth floor of a book depository building, then John F.

The unrest of the 1960s reached a boiling point in 1968, a year that can be considered the most turbulent year in American history. The tumultuous events that took place in 1968 effectively transformed the face of the nation in every aspect; economically, socially, and politically. Failed military tactics, assassinations, and violent civil rights movements were the defining characteristics of 1968. Despite the few good things that came out of that year, much of 1968 was dedicated to rebuilding the country, tragedy after tragedy. The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, involvement in the Vietnam War, and escalating civil rights movements are a few of the quintessential events that contributed to
