In 1960, America experienced significant social and political upheaval, largely due to the Civil Rights Movement gaining momentum and the looming Cold War tensions. The election of John F. Kennedy highlighted generational divides and ideological clashes, as he represented a new wave of liberalism. Additionally, events such as the sit-ins against segregation and the rise of youth activism contributed to a growing sense of unrest. These factors, combined with the backdrop of the Vietnam War's beginnings, set the stage for a decade of significant change and conflict.
