There were no presidential elections in 1965. There was the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices that had been responsible for the widespread disenfranchisement of African Americans in the United States.

Why did the Civil War amendments have little effect in the South until 1965?

The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments were important to the Civil Rights Movement. The Thirteenth Amendment ended slavery in the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment allowed Blacks to have the same rights as Whites. The Fifteenth Amendment allowed Blacks to vote. They had little effect in the south until 1965 when the Civil War ended.
