question 6 of 10
what did president grant want the enforcement acts of 1870 and 1871 to accomplish?

a. full civil rights for african americans

b. more control over the u.s. army

c. fewer laws in all the former confederate states

d. more union soldiers in the south to enforce the thirteenth amendment

Explanation:

The Enforcement Acts of 1870 and 1871 (also known as the Ku Klux Klan Acts) were intended to protect the civil rights of African Americans, especially their right to vote and other civil liberties, by combating violence and intimidation from groups like the KKK. Option A aligns with this purpose. Option B is incorrect as the acts weren't about controlling the Army. Option C is wrong because the acts aimed to enforce laws, not reduce them. Option D is incorrect as the acts were about enforcing civil rights (including those from the 14th and 15th Amendments, not just the 13th) and not primarily about increasing Union soldiers for the 13th Amendment.

Answer:

A. Full civil rights for African Americans
