Step-by-step explanation:

The aftermath of Civil War made it imperative that a series of enforcement acts known as Force Acts be enacted to support the ratification of the 13th , 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States that sought to extend legal civil and voting rights to former slaves and their descendants. However, this was met with strong opposition especially down South where the KKK terrorized blacks who sought voting rights, public office and participation in juries/court proceedings. Shortly after the approval of the law by Congress, the president nine counties notorious for terror activities were placed under martial law and thousands of people were arrested.

In the state of North Carolina, African American personalities such as Abraham Galloway and Wyatt Outlaw fought for the compliance of civil rights and voting rights for former slaves and against the use of the black code laws that served to restrict and segregate of black society even more.

The Freedman´s Bureau was the main instrument used to guaranty basic amenities, education, transportation for the now freed African American.
