Living conditions for Southern blacks were influenced by several factors, including systemic racism, economic disenfranchisement, and segregationist laws. The legacy of slavery and the Jim Crow laws perpetuated social and economic inequalities, limiting access to education, employment, and basic rights. Additionally, violence and intimidation from groups like the Ku Klux Klan created an environment of fear that further oppressed black communities. However, the resilience and solidarity within these communities led to the formation of mutual aid societies and civil rights organizations that fought for better conditions.

It meant freedom
Many factors made it difficult for Kennedy to act on civil rights. It was the early 1960s--half the country didn't want blacks to have any rights. Groups fought to keep blacks in their places--using black toilets, black water foutains, and stuck at the back of the bus. The KKK was very active in the South. Politicians were either too afraid to support Civil Rights, or personally disagreed with blacks having rights.
They created very stringent voter registration standards. They also imposed poll taxes that made voting too expensive for blacks. They also had literacy tests, which made it difficult for blacks to vote, as most of them were freed slaves who had little to no education.
