(MD) dated April 12, 1866 with spectacular  EARLY CIVIL RIGHTS news!
The CIVIL RIGHTS ACT of 1866
is passed as Congress overrides President Andrew Johnson's VETO!!
The Civil Rights Act of 1866, 14 Stat. 27
–30, enacted April 9, 1866, was the first United States federal law to define citizenship and affirm that all citizens are equally protected by the law.
It was mainly intended , in the wake of the American Civil War, to protect the civil rights of persons of African descent born in or brought to the United States. This legislation was passed by Congress in 1865 and vetoed by President Andrew Johnson. In April 1866 Congress again passed the bill to support the Thirteenth Amendment. Johnson again vetoed it, but a two-thirds majority in each chamber overcame the veto to become law without presidential signature.
John Bingham and other congressmen argued that Congress did not yet have sufficient constitutional power to enact this law. Following passage of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, Congress ratified the 1866 Act in 1871.
