Speech of A. H. Buckner on civil rights bill in 1874
A. H. Buckner argues the civil rights bill is a misnamed step toward social equality that would impose federal control on state matters. He questions federal authority, warns of sectional strife, and claims the measure harms public schools and local self-government, citing constitutional amendments and Supreme Court reasoning.
