Abstract
President John F. Kennedy is assassinated in Dallas, Texas in November of 1963. Just hours after Kennedy's death, Vice President Johnson is sworn as the nation's 36th president aboard Air Force One. Because of his mastery of Congress, Johnson is able to accomplish many of the things that JFK had proposed like passage of the Civil Rights Act. Johnson faces Senator Barry Goldwater in the presidential campaign of 1964 only months after taking the oath of office. The Democrats, Johnson and Congressional candidates win by large margin, in part because Goldwater scares the electorate with his nuclear rhetoric.
