/* Ambassador */
Kennedy reached the pinnacle of esteem as Ambassador to the Court of St. James (ambassador to Britain) in 1938-40, cruising elegantly in the highest circles of London society, in contrast to his maligned reputation in American high society. Daughter Kathleen Kennedy (1920–48), became Marchioness of Hartington when she married the heir to a dukedom; she died in a plane crash.
Kennedy came under heavy attack from the left, and especially from Jews[[Jew]]s, because of his pro-business views and especially his isolationism and support for Prime Minister [[Neville Chamberlain]]’s [[appeasement]] of Germany. Roosevelt removed him in late 1940, but Kennedy nevertheless endorsed FDR in the critical 1940 election, helping to swing the powerful Catholic vote. Unlike [[Al Smith]] and other prominent Catholics, Joe refused to attack Roosevelt and thereby preserved presidential options for his sons. Joe was increasingly isolated after 1941, keeping his distance from the clubhouse Irish politicians who clustered around ex-mayor Honey Fitz, as well as the Yankee businessmen he thought had denied him entry into the most elite Harvard circles.
