This volume also covers an investigation of the economic conditions in the Reconstruction South as well as infrastructure development. From the complete and scarce 1872 Ku Klux Klan reports regarding their rebellious activities. Considered one of the most complete chronicles of the Klan from the Reconstruction Era. This volume contains numerous interviews with prominent citizens, local officials, victims of Klan activity, and other witnesses. The investigation of Klan activity was part of the larger effort to eliminate the Ku Klux Klan altogether with the Enforcement Act of 1871, which was also known as the Civil Rights Act of 1871 or the Ku Klux Klan Act. This act empowered the President to suppress state disorders and suspend the right of habeus corpus in the wake of racial violence and intimidation initiated by the Ku Klux Klan and their supporters.
