Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1871 were passed to further the Thirteenth Amendment's goal of abolishing slavery. The acts granted citizenship and equal rights to African Americans, including the right to own property, make contracts, and sue and be sued in court. They also provided for criminal sanctions against anyone who deprived a citizen of their constitutional rights, including the right to vote. The acts did not deny plaintiffs any form of compensatory and punitive damages, restrict contract rights to white citizens only, deny individuals the right to sue in federal court, or exclude other individuals from having the same property rights as white citizens.
