In this excerpt from Kennedy's 1963 Civil Rights Address what idea is being most clearly defined?

"This is not a sectional issue. Difficulties over segregation and discrimination exist in every city, in every State of the Union, producing in many cities a rising tide of discontent that threatens the public safety. Nor is this a partisan issue. In a time of domestic crisis men of good will and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics."

The answer is the second option. Kennedy was wary not to remove the South, set apart by considerable isolation and racial segregation, by encroaching upon States' rights. In any case, Kennedy's position on social liberties had started to advance amid the Freedom Rides of 1961, amid which African-Americans went along isolated transport courses in the South.
