Nathanielwilliams773...
LBJ had been in Congress for many years before he became president. He knew how to negotiate and to compromise with various people. He also may have put a little pressure on some and made deals to get what he wanted.

If you are asking about LBJ he wasn’t in the “early days” of congress. He served in the senate and when JFK was shot became president. This is the 1960’s and not the 1700’s. He pushed the Civil a Rights Act forward until it was passed in 1965. LBJ had the power to get it passed. He had been in Washington for years so knew all the secrets of congress.
How did John F. Kennedy supported for the civil rights movement?
JFK began to lobby for the civil rights act with congressional members, but his death meant that LBJ was left the job of finishing it. Actually in retrospect LBJ was probably the best man for the job. He had been in congress for many years before he became Vice President and knew where to apply pressure on some members so the act would pass.
