no technically it did not succeed in the south since slavery was so present there. it did however help greatly to the civil rights movement because it was a small step in the right direction for equality.

Freedom Summer did not succeed in getting many voters registered, but it had a significant effect on the course of the Civil Rights Movement. It helped break down the decades of isolation and repression that had supported the Jim Crow system
