This law abolished slavery for African Americans. One flaw was that it made an exception in the case of citizens who were found guilty of a criminal offense. Meaning they were freed. -
14th Amendment
The 14th Amendment gave citizenship to all people ¨born or naturalized in the United States,¨ meaning that former enslaved people are citizens now with ¨equal¨ rights. The unintended consequences were that black people didn´t get the rights they were supposed to get and white people said ¨ separate, but not equal.¨ -
15th Amendment
The 15th Amendment gave African Americans the right to vote. Right after this amendment was passed black people tried running for office and southerners didn´t like that. -
Enforcement Act 1
It was a crime to interfere with citizens' right to vote. This one made the KKK infuriated as they went on more hunts to try to intimidate people. -

Enforcement Act 3
the Ku Klux Klan Act - Outawed activities of the KKK. The KKK killed many people, this act would help get rid of that and people wouldn't have to be so scared anymore. -
