civiluction is t rights act of 1865, also called the sumner act because it was such advocated by charles sumner , though he died before it was passed. theery much anticipates civil right movement of the 20th century. it prohibits all sorts of things like discrimination on railways, in hotels. it demands that african-americans be on juries. it is a wonderful thing and even establishes civil penalties for those who violate the act. but the u.s. supreme court deems it unconstitutional in 1883 in what is called the civil rights acts of 1883, so it is not on the books. by contrast, the civil rights act of 1866 is still on the books. not in its original form -- this is complicated -- though different pieces of it appear in different places in the u.s. statute books, and the u.s. code. i can talk more about where they appear if you would like. but that means that on the books is not just a kind of vestige of reconstruction, but something that can actually be used and is actually still used for civil rights cases. not as much as other things, but it is still out there. a part of the civil rights act i

that is why we get charles sumner and the crime against kansas. that's why we get bleeding kansas. and lincoln testifies to this. the nebraska bill astounded us. we were thunderstruck and stunned and we reeled and fell into utter confusion. but we rose. each fighting. grasping whatever he could first reach. a sigh, a pitchfork, a choppingax or butcher's cleaver. well, are rhetorically and politically, yes. just as the anthony burns rendition had put amos lawrence into the position of saying that one night we went to bed old compromised whigs and woke up the next morning starkraving mad abolitionists. the nebraska bill is something of the same effect on lincoln. sudden ly he wakes up, slavery s not going away upon its own. it's not going to go peacefully. to the contrary, it's going to turn, strangle the rest of us. that means we have to do something about it. and we have to do something about slavery and it is this which transforms lincoln into a public opponent and critic of slavery and slavery extension. he goes public for the first time in october of 1854 in a lengthy speech tha
