They were intimidated by violent threats and actions.

Explanation:

1960 is not only marked by the beginning of the struggle for black civil rights, but also by the emergence of the Ku Klux Klan, which was a major challenge for the African American population.

In 1960 the Afro-American population began a great battle for their rights, these rights are not only related to the end of racial segregation, because blacks demanded other things that contributed to their equality, among them the right to vote. The Afro-American population believed that they could not be prevented from voting in the elections, but ended up receiving threats and violent actions from the white and racist population, especially those who participated in the Ku Klux Klan.

Because of their very dangerous situation, many African Americans chose not to register to vote during the 1960s.
