The Enforcement Acts, passed in the United States during the early 1870s, were a series of three laws aimed at combating the widespread violence and intimidation against African Americans in the South, particularly in response to the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. The acts allowed for federal intervention to protect the civil rights of citizens and imposed penalties for violations of these rights. They empowered the federal government to oversee elections and curb voter suppression tactics. Overall, the Enforcement Acts were significant in the struggle for civil rights during the Reconstruction era.
