Answer:

John F. Kennedy, a wealthy Democratic senator from Massachusetts, was elected president in 1960, defeating Vice President Richard Nixon. Though he clearly won the electoral vote, Kennedy's received only 118,000 more votes than Nixon in this close election.

In his inaugural address, Kennedy said, "Let the word go forth . . . that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans-born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage." Kennedy also challenged Americans to think of ways they could serve, saying "Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country." This statement and Kennedy's enthusiasm appealed to many young idealists. But Kennedy also had won the votes of many traditional Democratic voters-members of labor unions, African Americans, and members of other ethnic groups

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The statements are true.

Explanation:

Jacques Cartier was a Breton navigator and explorer, the first great French explorer in North America.

He was commissioned by Francis I of France to search for the northwest passage to the Indies. In 1534 he left Saint Malo, arrived in Newfoundland, traveled New Brunswick and touched Canadian land in Gaspe, where he made contact with the Indians. In 1535 he made his second voyage and discovered the river Saint Lawrence; he reached its mouth, and shortly after ascended the river, and reached as far as the city of Montreal later was established. On this voyage he learned the name of Canada, and in 1536 returned to France. In 1541 he embarked on a third voyage under the command of J.F. de la Roque, lord of Roberval, with whom he tried to found a colony. Cartier, however, separated from the expedition and he returned to his own country.

The maps he made, allowed the Gulf and the St. Lawrence River to appear for the first time in cartographic representations of the world.
