the Civil Rights Act of 1866
African Americans
14th Amendment
The legislation that was passed by the moderates and radicals in 1866 was the Civil Rights Act. It gave the African Americans the freedom to become citizens and to forbid the use of the Black Codes.
The first Civil Rights Acts were passed in 1866, 1870, 1871, and 1875. Those acts tried to protect the ex-slaves rights and freedoms, like the right to sue, to be heard in jury trials, and the right to hold property. The Fourteenth Amendment, 1866, guaranteed all citizens of the US and all citizens in the states in which they lived, equal treatment under the law. It intended to prevent states from taking away the civil rights protected by the Constitution, from ex-slaves. As reconstruction ended and the Blacks lost political power in the South, there was no more federal civil rights legislation until The Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1960.
