In 1883 the US Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional, ushering in generations of segregation until 1964. This first full-length study of the Act covers the years of debates in Congress and some forty state studies of the midterm elections of 1874 in which many supporting Republicans lost their seats. They returned to pass the Act in the short session of Congress. This book utilizes an army of primary sources from unpublished manuscripts, rare newspaper accounts, memoir materials, and official documents to demonstrate that Republicans were motivated primarily by an ideology that civil equality would produce social order in the defeated southern states.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations and Maps \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Prologue \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  1 The Civil Rights Act of 1875 in the History of Reconstruction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  2 Rights-For-Order \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  3 Historiographical Perspectives \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  4 Precedent: The Civil Rights Act of 1866 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  5 Charles Sumner's Quest \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 A Muster of Moths: The Forty-Third Congress of the United States \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Charge at New Market Heights: Debate in the House of Representatives \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Purblind Child of Darkness: Sumner's Civil Rights Bill Passes the Senate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 The Deadest Corpse: No Exit in the House\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Horace Redfield's Journey: The Long Hot Summer of 1874\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 The Shirt of Nessus: Elections in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  1 Georgia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  2 North Carolina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  3 Virginia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Quintessence of Abominations: Elections in Tennessee and Alabama\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  1 Tennessee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  2 Alabama\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 Carry the News to Hiram: Elections in Florida and Louisiana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  1 Florida\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  2 Louisiana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Greeley's Ghost: Elections in Arkansas, Texas, Missouri Maryland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  1 Arkansas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  2 Texas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  3 Missouri\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  4 Maryland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 Taliaferro's Ghost: Border States and the North; Obituary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Delaware\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  1 West Virginia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  2 Illinois\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  3 Indiana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  4 Ohio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  5 Pennsylvania\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  6 New Jersey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  7 Obituary\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 Suffer the Little White Children: \u003cem\u003eVox Populi\u003c\/em\u003e Reconsidered\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e13 If Ruin Comes from This: A House Decided\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e14 Dear Tom's Deception: Birth of the Civil Rights Act\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 De Pervisions, Josiar: Civil Rights Dawn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e16 Epilogue: Then and Now\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAppendices\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA.Chronology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eB.Civil Rights Proposals - Texts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359873073495,"sku":"9781642590746","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781642590746.jpg?v=1754125969","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/welcoming-ruin-the-civil-rights-act-of-1875-9781642590746","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
