Question

Which of the following groups worked to stop violence against African Americans? How was the Ku Klux Klan affected by the passage of the Enforcement Acts?

a) NAACP
b) Ku Klux Klan
c) SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center)
d) ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union)

Answer 1

The NAACP worked to stop violence against African Americans, while the Ku Klux Klan was a violent group targeting African Americans. The passage of the Enforcement Acts enabled the prosecution of the Klan and the use of U.S. troops to protect freedpeople.

Step-by-step explanation:

The group that worked to stop violence against African Americans was the NAACP. They fought for civil rights and equality for African Americans through legal challenges, advocacy, and education. On the other hand, the Ku Klux Klan was a white supremacist group that perpetrated violence and intimidation against African Americans. The passage of the Enforcement Acts allowed the federal government to prosecute Klan behavior as acts of rebellion, enabling U.S. troops to protect freedpeople.
