The Civil Rights Act of 1866 became law on April 9, 1866, by a two-thirds majority overriding President Andrew Johnsonâs veto. The first aim of the Act was to provide federal protection to emancipated African Americans, giving practical effect to the Thirteenth Amendment.
Albany is located about 150 miles (240 km) north of New York City on the Hudson River. It has a total area of 21.8 square miles (56 km2), of which 21.4 square miles (55 km2) is land and 0.4 square miles (1.0 km2) (1.8%) is water.
It depends on the city. In New York City, the average length of a north-south block is 1/20th of a mile, or 264 feet. An east-wes â¦ t block is about 1/5th of a mile, or 1,056 feet.  So, a square block would be 264 x 1056 = 278,784 square feet, which is equal to 6.4 acres.
