Enforcement Acts

Enforcement Acts

The Oxford Essential Dictionary of the U.S. Military | 2001 | Copyright

Enforcement Acts a series of acts passed between 1870 and 1871 to protect the voting rights of blacks and to suppress the Ku Klux Klan. The act of May 31, 1870, outlawed actions intended to deprive blacks of the right to vote. The act of February 28, 1871, an amendment to the first act, was designed to eliminate fraudulent registration practices and to establish a system of federal machinery to supervise state elections. The act of April 20, 1871, known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, attempted to prevent the intimidation of blacks by any illegal action. It also gave the president the right to employ the militia and to suspend the right of habeas corpus when public safety was threatened.
