The law was never passed. This effected African Americans by them still having separate bathrooms, schools, and many other places from white people.]]> 2022-01-05 20:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977324722 https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977325478 This act guaranteed that everyone in the US was "entitled to the full and equal enjoyment" of public accommodations and facilities regardless of race or skin color. This was overturned and was deemed unconstitutional. This would have made every race equal and instead it brought almost 100 more years of segregation, causing oppression to the African Americans. ]]> 2022-01-05 20:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977325478 https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977328059 The Civil Rights Act of 1875 was created in order to ban segregation. This law was not passed. That affected the African Americans because they had to continue to live with unequal rights and prejudice. ]]> 2022-01-05 20:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977328059 https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977329016 The Civil Rights Act of 1875 was intended to guarantee all people in the United States to be "entitled to the full and equal enjoyment" of all public places and facilities despite what race they were. In other words, ban segregation. However, this law was not passed. The supreme court ruled this unconstitutional. If it were to be passed, it would have had a very positive effect on the African Americans, but it was not so they continued to face hardships. It was not until almost 100 years later, in 1964, that this Civil Rights Act to ban segregation finally became a law. ]]> 2022-01-05 20:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977329016 https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977329143 The purpose of the Civil Rights Acts of 1875 was to ban segregation. Meaning the couldn't seperate people because of race. This failed because it was deemed unconstitutional. This was a negative. Black people still had to face discrimination.]]> 2022-01-05 20:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977329143 https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977330206 The Freedmen's Bureau or Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned lands was created in 1865 to help newly freed slaves and underprivileged whites in the South after the Civil War. However, the organization was defunded and this resulted in the end of the Freedmen's Bureau. This had a negative impact on the African Americans in the south. ]]> 2022-01-05 20:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977330206 https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977330769 This Act proposed a structure similar to the fourteenth ammendment, giving people of color citizenship, with added consquences to those who didn't follow it being charged with up to a $1000 fine, year of imprisonment, or both. This wasn't passed due to the presence of Andrew Johnsone who vetoed the bill. This effected African Americans by allowing more unfair treatment without consequence giving white racist free reign to do what they wanted to. ]]> 2022-01-05 20:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977330769 https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977330920 The literacy tests were introduced in 1890, forcing voters to take a literacy test to actually vote.

By passing this law it meant that even though the 15th amendment gave African Americans the right to vote, they they could not pass the test. This had a negative impact of African Americans because they were denied their rights. ]]> 2022-01-05 20:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977331549 https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977331733 The civil rights act of 1875 was proposed by senator Charles Sumner and would have banned segregation on the basis of race. It also would have stopped the Ku Klux Klan from meeting. This was overturned by the supreme court which deemed it "unconstitutional." This led to segregation still being a thing until 1964 and even having separate schooling which meant Black people would get less education.]]> 2022-01-05 20:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_rottman/iodxqf7r8rf1tqc7/wish/1977331733
