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 US 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sources from unpublished manuscripts, rare newspaper accounts,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.
