North Jersey Civil War Round Table Presents: Reconstruction and the Use of Federal Authority in the Battle against the Ku Klux Klan

This presentation will focus on the successful local battles in the South against the Klan waged by the new Department of Justice, especially in 1871-73, the decisions of the US Supreme Court gutting the potential reach of the Civil War Constitutional Amendments, and the reasons for the ultimate failure to protect the formerly enslaved.
