Answer 1

The correct answer is: D). It led to the withdrawal of many members in the South.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 purpose was to end discrimination of color, religion or national origins. No one could be banned from a place based on their looks, the act also stated no one could be rejected from an employment based on their race, religious or national origin.  

Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson signed The Civil Rights Act of 1964 he convinced many members of the Congress to vote in favor of the Act.

The South had different ideas and they didn't support the Act, so when a Democrat President signed The Civil Rights Act many withdrew their support from the Democratic Party.
