The outline was there, the intent was there and the mindset was there. The main backlog that dragged the process are the minds of the people. They grew up identifying African Americans as less than a person, an item, a piece of property so as the idea of reconstruction went forth, the people of the land weren't having it. If people had a different perspective of each other then things would've gone a little better. If people truly understood the rich history they engraved the minority with, then it would make sense and things would've abolished a long time ago. This doesn't include property owners and high market men, they were born into "american royalty", so they're going to focus on the money not the moral. I would call this attempt a success because it was a foot in the right humane direction.

The goals of the Reconstruction Act of were that the South would be divided into 5 military regions, members of the ruling class before the war lost their voting rights, and in order for the Southern states to reenter the Union, they had to approve new state constitutions that gave the vote to all men, including African Americans and they had to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Provisions of this civil rights act forbade discrimination on the basis of sex, as well as, race in hiring, promoting, and firing.

Almost a century later, the fight for decent human rights were brought about once more. Schools didn't educate negro's about there rights and how almost 100 years prior, they were granted humane rights but as years gone by, these rights were terminated to an extent. (ex: Jim crow laws, Ku klux klan, sundown towns)

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was enacted on April 9, 1866 by the United States Congress to protect the rights of newly freed slaves. The passage of this Act over President Johnson's veto was the first time Congress legislated upon civil rights.

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 stated:

All persons born in the United States were entitled to be citizens, without regard to race, color, or previous condition of slavery or involuntary servitude.

As citizens they have the right to enforce contracts, sue and be sued, give evidence in court, and inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property.

Persons who denied these rights to former slaves were guilty of misdemeanour and faced a fine not exceeding $1000 or imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both.

Authority to prosecute cases was given to the United States district attorneys, marshals and deputy marshals and the Supreme Court.

Senator Lynman Trumbull sponsored the bill, congress gave it a clear majority with 122 to 41 supporting the Act. President Andrew Johnson vetoed the bill with this message:
To the Senate of the United States: I regret that the bill which has passed both Houses of Congress, entitled "An Act to protect all persons in the United States in their civil rights, and furnish the means of their vindication," contains provisions which I cannot approve, consistently with my sense of duty to the whole people, and my obligations to the Constitution of the United States. I am, therefore, constrained to return it to the Senate (the House in which it originated) with my objections to its becoming law. Andrew Johnson Washington, D.C., March 27, 1866.
Part of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 became part of the Fourteenth Amendment which was passed in 1868. This law failed to protect African Americans; segregation, racism and intimidation were common in the South. The emergence of the Ku Klux Klan spread more violence.
