In response to the terrorist acts committed by the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), the U.S. government took various measures, particularly during the Reconstruction era and the Civil Rights Movement. The federal government enacted legislation, such as the Enforcement Acts of the 1870s, aimed at curbing KKK violence and protecting the civil rights of African Americans. Additionally, during the 1960s, federal agencies, including the FBI, intensified efforts to investigate and prosecute KKK members involved in violent crimes, leading to significant legal actions against the organization. However, the effectiveness of these measures has varied over time, with ongoing challenges in fully addressing the KKK's influence and activities.
