The bad luck continues! How prominent is the Kennedy family, the “royal family” of the United States?

In 1848, Ireland was in dire straits, so a man named Patrick Kennedy came to the United States. This guy was Kennedy I. This guy actually did a very bad job. His contribution to the Kennedy family was to reproduce future generations. He did some hard work, earned some money, married a wife and had children, and then died ten years after coming to the United States.

He has one and only one child, named Patrick Joseph. This is a key figure in the rise of the Kennedy family. The young man started out as a porter and suffered a lot, but in the end he was able to complete the original work with his blood and sweat. He accumulated money and then opened a tavern. He made a moderate fortune from this tavern. After getting money, they packaged themselves carefully, married a rich and beautiful lady, and were finally elected to the state assembly. From then on, the Kennedy family officially entered the political arena.

Harvard University. Kennedy III was a thoroughly wealthy son. With the help of his father, he became the chairman of a bank at a young age.

But unlike other ordinary rich second generations, Joseph Kennedy, a rich second generation, was very capable, accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars, and made a qualitative leap in one fell swoop. In addition, Joseph Kennedy was also very visionary and focused on helping a rising political star ascend to the throne of the President of the United States, that is, the famous Franklin Roosevelt. Later, President Roosevelt also knew how to reciprocate favors and directly appointed Joseph Kennedy as ambassador to the United Kingdom.

You must know that the Kennedy family originally It was because he could no longer stay under British rule that he ran to the United States. In addition, everyone should know that the ambassador to the UK is a reward for meritorious officials. This time, Biden wants to thank Obama and plans to send him to be the ambassador to the UK.

By the time of Kennedy IV, the generation of US President John F. Kennedy, all the foundations had been laid. They needed money, connections, and political skills. Under the training of Joseph Kennedy, the Kennedy family took full action. After the 1960 U.S. presidential election, the presidency fell on John F. Kennedy. In addition, his The two younger brothers, Robert Kennedy and Edward Kennedy, both hold important positions in the federal government, because the president of the United States can reasonably divide the spoils, just like the ancient emperors could appoint eunuchs as imperial envoys. For a time, the Kennedy family was in full swing. Starting in 1947, John F. Kennedy entered Congress. By 2011, when Patrick Kennedy left Congress, the Kennedy family held public office in Washington for 64 years, so they were known as the "Royal Family of the United States."

In 1963, John F. Kennedy's son Rick Bouvier Kennedy died of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and in the same year he himself got into a convertible. In 1968, U.S. presidential candidate Robert Francis Kennedy, like his brother, was assassinated. Next, there are various ways of death in the Kennedy family. For example, David Anthony Kennedy died suddenly after overdosing on drugs in a hotel room in Palm Beach, Florida. This was a self-inflicted death.

Michael Kennedy died when he hit a tree while skiing, John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane accident, Kara Kennedy died in a gym, Mary Kennedy hanged herself, and Sauls Kennedy Hill died of a drug overdose.
