Answer:

C. Acts recommended by Grant and imposed by Congress to try to protect black voters from intimidation and violence

Step-by-step explanation:

The Enforcement Acts were three bills passed by the United States Congress between 1870 and 1871 under the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. They were to protect African-Americans’ right to vote, to hold office, to serve on juries, and to receive equal protection of laws.
