Описание: The Civil Rights Act of 1871, also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, was a crucial piece of Reconstruction-era legislation. Its main goal was to combat the violence against African Americans perpetrated by groups like the KKK. The act empowered the federal government to protect civil rights, even intervening when state governments failed to do so. Key provisions included federal enforcement measures, criminal and civil penalties for violators, and the ability to sue for civil rights violations. Although impactful, its effectiveness was ultimately limited by the later withdrawal of federal troops and the rise of Jim Crow laws. The Act's legacy endures through Section 1983 lawsuits.
