protected freedpeople from racial terrorism through federal enforcement.
removed federal troops from the south.
outlawed slavery nationwide.
ended reconstruction.

Explanation:

The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, also known as the Civil Rights Act of 1871 or the Force Act, was designed to combat the violence and intimidation (racial terrorism) by the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups against African - Americans (freedpeople). It gave the federal government more power to enforce civil rights through measures like suspending habeas corpus in affected areas and using federal troops to protect citizens.

• Removing federal troops from the South was more related to the end of Reconstruction (Compromise of 1877).
• Slavery was outlawed nationwide by the 13th Amendment (1865).
• Reconstruction ended with the Compromise of 1877, not the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.

Answer:

Protected freedpeople from racial terrorism through federal enforcement.
