Miller -- Appendix: The Civil Rights Act of 1866. 520 $a "In this volume ten expert historians and legal scholars examine the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the first federal civil rights statute in American history. The act declared that all persons born in the United States were citizens without regard to race, color, or previous condition of slavery. Designed to give the Thirteenth Amendment practical effect as former slave states enacted laws limiting the rights of African Americans, this measure for the first time defined U.S. citizenship and the rights associated with it. Essays examine the history and legal ramifications of the act and highlight competing impulses within it, including the often-neglected Section 9, which allows the president to use the nation’s military in its enforcement; an investigation of how the Thirteenth Amendment operated to overturn the Dred Scott case; and New England’s role in the passage of the act. The act is analyzed as it operated in several states such as Kentucky, Missouri, and South Carolina during Reconstruction. There is also a consideration of the act and its interpretation by the Supreme Court in its first decades. Other essays include a discussion of the act in terms of contract rights and in the context of the post–World War II civil rights era as well as an analysis of the act’s backward-looking and forward-looking nature." -- Publisher's website. 520 $a "This volume, which contains essays by both historians and legal scholars, examines various aspects of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the first federal civil rights statute in American history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 610 10 $a United States. $t Civil Rights Act of 1866. 610 10 $a United States. $t Constitution. $n 14th Amendment. 630 07 $a Civil Rights Act of 1866 (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01912565 630 07 $a Constitution (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356075 650 0 $a Civil rights $z United States. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x Civil War Period (1850-1877) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x 19th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW $x Civil Rights. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW $x Legal History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799575 650 7 $a Civil rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862627 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Samito, Christian G., $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214023029.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8D901708840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
