The 1866 Civil Rights Act provides immediate access to federal court, without the requirement of filing a complaint with the EEOC, and allows for a greater range of remedies, including compensatory and punitive damages. Title VII, on the other hand, requires the filing of an EEOC complaint and limits the available remedies to back pay, reinstatement, and injunctive relief.
