Question

States of which areas refused to ratify Civil Rights Act of 1964?

Answer 1

The states in the Southern region of the United States were the ones that largely refused to support or delayed ratifying the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These included states like Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, and Louisiana. These states had strong segregationist traditions and resisted federal civil rights legislation, particularly laws that aimed to end racial segregation and discrimination. Despite this resistance, the act was passed and enforced nationwide.
