The Civil Rights Act of 1875, enacted March 1, 1875, banned racial
discrimination in public accommodations - hotels, public
conveyances and places of public amusement. In 1883 the U.S.
Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional, ushering in
generations of segregation until 1964. This first full-length study
of the Act covers the years of debates in Congress and some forty
state studies of the midterm elections of 1874 in which many
supporting Republicans lost their seats. They returned to pass the
Act in the short session of Congress. This book utilizes an army of
primary sources from unpublished manuscripts, rare newspaper
accounts, memoir materials and official documents to demonstrate
that Republicans were motivated primarily by an ideology that civil
equality would produce social order in the defeated southern
states.
