Answer:
President Grant attempted to stop the violence and curb the violence by using federal troops to enforce the law and protect the rights of newly freed slaves. He also signed the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, which gave the federal government the power to prosecute and punish those who used violence to deny others their rights. He also signed the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which prohibited discrimination in public places, such as hotels and restaurants, based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Unfortunately, these efforts were not entirely successful in stopping the violence, as the Klan and other white supremacist groups continued to terrorize and intimidate black communities. The Supreme Court in 1883 declared the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional which further undermined the protection of the rights of the blacks. In 1872, the Republican Party was split by the scandal of the Credit Mobilier of America, which damaged the reputation of the party and weakened the political will to continue the fight against the violence.
