Question

Which event occurred in 1963 and caused the country to experience a major transition?

Answer 1

It was "b. the assassination of President Kennedy' that occurred in 1963 and caused the country to experience a major transition, since this took place in the middle of the Cold War, and the fight for civil rights. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The assasination of President Kennedy was a shocking event for the American people, which caused a large number of consequences.

Television was the main source through which people were kept informed of the events surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Newspapers were kept as memories rather than as updated news sources. The three major television networks suspended their usual programs and broadcast news permanently from November 22 to November 25. The Kennedy state funeral and the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald were broadcast live across the country, as well as in other countries around the world.

Lately, the death of President Kennedy and the mysteries surrounding the events of his assassination remain historically and politically important in terms of the marked loss of faith of the American people in politics.

Johnson assumed the position of President, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, on the plane that moved Kennedy's body from Dallas. Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which banned racial discrimination in public facilities and in any business or institution receiving federal funds. Once the Law was put into practice, its effects were far-reaching and had a huge long-term impact throughout the country. Discrimination was prohibited in public schools, in government, and in employment, invalidating the laws of Jim Crow in the southern United States. It became illegal to force the segregation of races in schools, housing, or hiring employees.
