The terrorist organization made a name for itself by using violence and intimidation to suppress Republicans. The formation of the KKK marked the beginning of the end of Reconstruction, as they were informally supported by white landowners both legally and financially. By working their way into local governments, the KKK has experienced power and longevity that is unheard of in American domestic terrorist organizations. The KKK still operates to this day.]]> 2021-04-07 21:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393445923 auroradomaszowec1 https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393481427 The Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawed racial discrimination in many public spaces. However, it did not end up doing a lot of good, as it was barely enforced. Given that this act is astonishingly similar to the demands of the Civil Rights Movement, which took place over 80 years later, it clearly did not fulfill its end of the bargain.]]> 2021-04-07 21:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393481427 auroradomaszowec1 https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393481928 A now Democratic led legislation declared the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional, and repealed it. With reasoning that the 14th amendment allowed the federal government to punish discrimination and racism from states, but not from individuals, this repeal marked the end of Federal involvement in Civil Rights issues until the Civil Rights Movement. It also enabled businesses and citizens in their racism, as it was clearly stated there would be no federal involvement. ]]> 2021-04-07 21:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393481928 auroradomaszowec1 https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393483622 Because of racial tension, financial issues and economic issues, Democrats were able to take majority in many key Republican states. Remember that Republicans during this part of history are the good guys. In states with more resistance, violent and deadly clashes happened. Over the course of these 8 years, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana all fell under Democratic majority. In these states, Black Americans faced voter suppression, lack of access to social services, discrimination, and physical violence. ]]> 2021-04-07 21:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393483622 auroradomaszowec1 https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393539541 Created to help end racial terrorism in the wake of a siege on a courthouse that resulted in the deaths of over 100 black people, the Enforcement Acts made interference with an election and voting a federal offence. They also made the violent infringement of civil and political rights a federal crime. Though they put an end to outward support for the KKK, these Enforcement Acts were not enough to eradicate the terrorist organization.]]> 2021-04-07 22:21:34 UTC https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393539541 auroradomaszowec1 https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393647279 Through this timeline of events, it is clear that the Reconstruction period ended because of the violence and intimidation coming from the Democratic Party and their affiliate terrorist organization The KKK. While inaction from the Republican party is also at fault, that inaction was caused by fear, fear of retaliation from the KKK. When action carries the threat of death, people are not so brave, and this resulted in a major lack of empathy and legislation towards protecting Black Americans. ]]> 2021-04-07 23:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/auroradomaszowec1/izqr2yr5law5me2a/wish/1393647279
