Question

1. what did the government do to reduce violence against african americans after the civil war?○ it ratified the fifteenth amendment.○ it started reconstruction.○ it passed the enforcement acts.

Explanation:

The Enforcement Acts (1870-1871) were federal laws specifically enacted to combat violence, intimidation, and voter suppression targeting African Americans during Reconstruction. The 15th Amendment established voting rights but did not directly address violence, and Reconstruction itself was the broader post-war process, not a direct measure against violence.

Answer:

C. It passed the Enforcement Acts.
