NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, April 14, 1866
* Civil Rights Act of 1866
* Becomes law of the land
* President's veto overridden
The front page has nearly 1 1/2 columns of detailed text reporting a very historic event: the passage of the Civil Rights Bill. Headed: "The Civil Rights Bill" "The Bill a Law--Both Houses of Congress Pass It Over the President's Veto". This notable bill declared that all persons born in the United States were now citizens, without regard to race, color, or previous condition. A significant event in the history of America.
Eight pages, bit of foxing to the right side, nice condition.
