In 1871, the United States Congress passed the Ku Klux Klan Act, also known as the Civil Rights Act of 1871. This legislation aimed to combat the violent actions of the Ku Klux Klan and other groups that sought to undermine the civil rights of African Americans during Reconstruction. It allowed federal authorities to intervene in states where civil rights were being violated and provided for legal action against individuals participating in conspiracies to deny those rights.
