Regarding the edit of 23:46, 16 April 2024... the article previously had the text stated that the law "discriminated in favor of African Americans ...". I certainly understand that "discrimination" frequently connotes a harmful effect, but it jars me trying to figure out what is meant when we have "discriminated" in quotes followed by "in favor of".
If the phrasing were "... it discriminated based on their race", then the "scare quotes" make sense, but with it being immediately followed by "in favor of", their presence creates confusion. Fabrickator (talk) 02:01, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Under the Reconstruction section, reference is made to a Reconstruction Act intentionally presented to be passed over Johnsons veto. Do we know which act this is? If so perhaps a hyperlink or source can be added? Kayfr (talk) 12:57, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
