The U.S. presidential election of 1960 came at a decisive time in American history. The country was engaged in a heated Cold War<span> with the Soviet Union, which had just taken the lead in the space race by launching the Sputnik satellite. The rise of Fidel Castro’s revolutionary regime in Cuba had heightened fears about the spread of communism in the Western Hemisphere. On the domestic front, the struggle for civil rights and desegregation had deeply divided the nation, raising crucial questions about the state of democracy in the United States.At a time when the need for strong leadership was all too obvious, two vastly different candidates vied for the presidency: </span>John F. Kennedy, a young but dynamicMassachusetts<span> senator from a powerful New England family, and Richard Nixon, a seasoned lawmaker who was currently serving as vice president. With little more than a single unremarkable term in the U.S. senate under his belt, the 43-year-old Kennedy lacked Nixon’s extensive foreign policy experience and had the disadvantage of being one of the first Catholics to run for president on a major party ticket.

Restrict the ability of African Americans to obtain voting rights.
The black community experienced much poverty because of prejudice against them in the economic system of the country, so poll taxes could keep them from going to the polls to vote.
Blacks also typically had less access to education than whites even after slavery was ended; thus their literacy rates were lower. So literacy tests were also used to restrict blacks from voting.
Southern states also utilized "grandfather clauses," which were exemptions to things like poll taxes and literacy tests, granted to those whose forefathers ("grandfathers") had full voting rights prior to the Civil War. So if there were poor or illiterate whites, they could vote freely while blacks (whose ancestors had been slaves) were subjected to the laws restricting their voting ability.
These sorts of restrictions against black voters prompted much of the activism of the civil rights movement that began in the middle of the 20th century.
