The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was the first federal law to affirm that all citizens are equally protected under the law. It granted citizenship and the same rights enjoyed by white citizens to all male persons in the United States, regardless of race or color. The Act was passed by Congress in response to the Civil War and aimed to counteract the Black Codes that were enacted in Southern states to restrict the rights of newly freed slaves.
Introduced on April 9, 1866, but later passed on March 27 by a presidential veto, the Civil Rights acts were created to protect the rights of freed slaves and to guarantee equal rights to blacks.
