All of these reasons contributed to John Kennedy's unpopularity in South Carolina, but the most significant reason was likely his support for equal rights for blacks. South Carolina was a predominantly conservative and segregationist state at the time, and Kennedy's push for civil rights reform was seen as a threat to the status quo and the state's way of life. Additionally, his Catholic faith and status as a liberal northerner further alienated him from many in the state.
