[edit] Sources
How are two case citations the sources for this entire article? Revert all you want but it doesn't make the sourcing here any stronger. Is all of this in there too: In the years immediately following the Civil War, the southern United States suffered great social and political upheaval. Many white citizens resented the political power wielded by newly freed slaves, and took action to curb their participation in the electoral process through terror and other means. As attacks against African Americans continued into the 1870s, many of which were conducted with the approval and even the participation of local law enforcement authorities, President Ulysses S. Grant asked for congressional action to address the problem.
The Ku Klux Klan Act was passed in 1871 in response to Grant's appeal.
