The Mississippi Valley was very attractive for early colonizers. The Spaniards first went there in 1541, hoping they would find gold just like their fellow citizens had done in Mexico two decades earlier. But their venture didn't bear any fruit. Then, in 1673, French came to explore the land. Soon enough, missionaries followed their steps, and the first small settlements were formed, in spite of many troubles (such as outbreaks of smallpox).
Civil rights were initially contained in the <u>first</u> part of the US Constitution - the Civil Rights Acts which was ratified in the 14th Amendment (1868).
<h3>What are Civil rights?</h3>
Civil rights are rights that protect the liberty of individuals from being infringed by others, governments, and social organizations.
They include the right to vote, the right to a fair trial, the right to public education, the right to gainful employment, the right to use public facilities, freedom of religion, etc.
The Civil Rights Act (1866) was the first United States federal law to explain what citizenship is. It also declared that all citizens are equally protected by the law.
The main purpose of the act was to protect the civil rights of African descent born in or brought to the United States.
Thus, the first part of our Constitution, which is the Civil Rights Act originally contains the civil rights of citizens.
