The clash between President Johnson and Congress erupted in February 1866 when the president vetoed a bill extending the life of the controversial Freedmen's Bureau. Congress passed the Civil Rights Bill in March 1866, which gave blacks the privilege of American citizenship and struck at the Black Codes. Fearing that the Southerners might someday repeal the hated Civil Rights Law, Congress passed the 14th Amendment in 1866. After gaining the right to vote from the 15th Amendment, blacks began to organize politically. From 1868-1876, blacks began to hold major offices in government. "Scalawags" were Southerners who were accused of plundering the treasuries of the Southern states through their political influence in the radical governments. "Carpetbaggers" were sleazy Northerners who had come to the South to seek power and profit.
