Kennedy were based on the phases of the conflict in Mississippi. At first Kennedy did not want to put any emphasis on the civil rights movement, as a result his brother Robert Kennedy was responsible for this situation to deflect problems from his brother. As the situation began to spiral out of control between Meredith and Mississippi, John F. Kennedy began to intervene in the crisis. This was done in the form of political negotiation with Barnett. The negotiations were destined to end in failure due to the different political language of these individuals, which can be interpreted from Kennedy's statements: "You've been arguing with the couch cushion all week... It's a rouge" (Doyle 111) . To carry out orders, the Kennedy Supreme Court was forced to resort to military force. Another reason for sending the military was the fear of a new civil conflict within the union. From my point of view Kennedy was too lenient in the situation. Once I knew that the situation was starting to get out of hand I would send in the armed forces to maintain order. This would send a message to Mississippi and any sympathizers that no one is above the federal level
