    Explanation:

    The Civil Rights Act was signed into law in 1866 by a republican dominated congress.

    It's the first federal law that declares U. S. citizens being equally protected under the law and was signed by President Johnson. The Act also made some clarity on citizenship and made it a crime to deny any person of the rights of citizenship on the basis of their race or color.
