> Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.  The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 was the basic law
> passed by the US Congress to uphold and enforce the Civil War Amendments that
> extended equal rights to all US citizens,  to put force behind civil war
> amendments by providing avenue for redress of injuries suffered by class of
> newly emancipated slaves.  McLellan v. Mississippi Power & Light Co., C.A.5
> (Miss.) 1977, 545 F.2d 919.  In the 1960's these were all updated in response
> to violence in the southern US that was aimed at suppressing the political
