PERSPECTIVE
Republicans, who viewed black voting rights as crucial to maintaining their power in the South, passed the act. President Johnson vetoed the act, only to have it passed by Congress over his veto. As a response to the Civil Rights Act, Southerners quickly passed laws to limit the rights of African Americans.

Most Southerners were against reconstruction, and pro-slavery. They were angered by the Civil Rights Act of 1866.

SIGNIFICANCE
While the Civil Rights Act of 1866 granted citizenship and equal rights under the law, black codes and terrorist organizations like the KKK struck fear in freed blacks and their supporters. The passage of this Act led to the 14th Amendment.
