What did the US Congress do when the 1870 Enforcement Act failed?

Hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan paid no attention to the 15th amendment and the 1870 Enforcement Act. Their violence only increased, despite the fact that at least in one state, Texas, arrested 6,000 Klansmen. Congress stepped in as well and passed the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act. This new law allowed for the US military to be used to enforce the laws and amendments passed to protect Afro-Americans and other minorities from exercising their civil rights. The act also outlawed the Klan. The racists in the Klan disguised themselves and joined other racist groups.
