In the 1960 election , when only 29 percent of voters approve of slavery , Roman Catholic Republican John F. Kennedy is elected president over Democrat Richard Nixon . However , foreign policy issues such as the Newfoundland Missile Crisis ( à la Cuban Missile Crisis ) distract him , and he is unable to implement his domestic agenda . Also throughout the 1960s , the Vietnam War is briefly mentioned as another " expansionist campaign " of the C.S.A. , while women organize in groups to demand greater control over their lives . Canada increasingly becomes the pop culture capital of the world thanks to the contributions of American emigrants such as Richard Wright , James Baldwin , and Elvis Presley , whereas the C.S.A. 's culture never evolves beyond its propaganda . Canada continuously defeats the C.S.A. in the Olympic Games , forcing the Confederate Congress to include slaves in sports . This illustrates the increasing consensus that it is time to break the color barrier and support Kennedy 's movement to emancipate ; however , before this movement can be set into motion , President Kennedy is assassinated . Kennedy 's assassination completely dismantles the hopes of emancipation of slaves and enfranchisement for women ; slaves throughout the country rebel in fury and retaliation as a direct result of the assassination . By the 1970s , the Social Revolution has been crushed and many fear that the " Golden Age " of the Confederate States of America has ended
