Sagot :
This is true that during reconstruction, a number of state governments initiated civil rights legislation that made it illegal for railroads, hotels, and other institutions to discriminate on the basis of race.
The Reconstruction era, which lasted from 1865 to 1877 after the American Civil War, saw the country struggle to decide how to treat African Americans legally and to reintegrate the seceded states into the Union. The First Reconstruction Act, the Second Reconstruction Act, the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, the Civil Rights Act of 1875, and the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments were all passed by the Radical Republicans.
Some of the Reconstruction-era statutes had greater authority than later legislation. Many of the civil rights statutes during the 1960s civil rights era were weaker than the Civil Rights Law of 1866. The 1964 statute is quite similar to the 1875 Civil Rights Act which forbade discrimination in places of public accommodation.
