The correct answer is argued that it discriminated against whites

He believed that the civil rights bill of 1866 was unconstitutional as it would give the African-Americans certain rights which would put them into a better position than the white people had and thus equality would not exist. That's why he didn't want to sign it and the civil rights bill had to wait for another 100 years before being passed.
