freedom of speech for White people..
land ownership for Southern sharecroppers.
racial discrimination in public facilities.
voting, poll taxes, and literacy tests.

Answer 1

The Civil Rights Act of 1875 primarily dealt with **racial discrimination in public facilities**. This legislation aimed to ensure equal treatment for all individuals in public accommodations, regardless of race. However, the Supreme Court later ruled on cases related to this act in 1883, the outcome of which significantly undermined the enforcement of civil rights protections.
