He moved slowly at the start because he felt that if he worked so hard on the Civil Rights Movement and passing that law then he might not get anything else accomplished. He also won the election by a slim margin and needed the support of southern legislatures. He also felt that medical and educational bills that were passed would help the civil rights movement ultimately, so he held off on making any bold reforms.

Why was president kennedys approach toward civil rights timid?

President Kennedy's approach toward civil rights was often seen as timid due to his political calculations and the need to maintain support from Southern Democrats, who were opposed to desegregation. He prioritized legislative progress in other areas, such as the Cold War and economic policies, over aggressively pushing for civil rights reforms. Additionally, Kennedy was cautious about provoking backlash from segregationists and sought to balance the demands of both civil rights activists and conservative constituents. Ultimately, his administration took a more reactive than proactive stance until the increasing pressure from civil rights movements forced him to take bolder actions later in his presidency.
