The Civil Rights Act of 1870 was primarily driven by the need to protect the rights of newly freed African Americans following the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. It aimed to combat racial discrimination by affirming the right to vote and ensuring equal protection under the law. The act was a response to the widespread violence and intimidation faced by Black citizens, particularly in the Southern states, and sought to enforce the provisions of the 14th and 15th Amendments. Ultimately, it reflected the federal government's commitment to civil rights during the Reconstruction era.
