The statement that explains why President Kennedy did not succeed in getting a civil rights act passes is because  Congress was controlled by the Republican Party during his time in office.

President John F. Kennedy was the first one to purpose the civil rights act but he encountered the opposition of Republican Congressmen in the South. That is why it passed years later under the Presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson as the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The legislation ended with segregation practices in public schools and in the work place.

for the united states of america, 1945 to 1964 was a time of high economic growth and general prosperity. it was also a time of confrontation as the capitalist united states and its allies politically opposed the soviet union and other communist countries; the cold war had begun.
