* on vocab sheet it says act, but i could only find a bill, so if i am wrong, please let me know.
In March 1866 Republicans passed the Civil Rights Bill which gave Blacks American Citizenship while stricking at the Black Codes. Johnson vetoed it but congressmen steamrollered it over his veto. Made it 14th admendment in Constitution. * See 14th Admendment for 4 things it did.
