question 6 of 10
president grant’s support of the enforcement acts showed that he wanted to
do which of the following?

a. make southern whites give their land to african americans

b. protect the rights of african americans

c. keep all the government officers chosen by president lincoln

d. rebuild the south by using the u.s. army

Explanation:

The Enforcement Acts (also known as the Ku Klux Klan Acts) were passed to combat violence against African Americans and their rights, especially in the South. President Grant's support for these acts was aimed at protecting the civil rights of African Americans, including their right to vote, hold office, etc. Option A is incorrect as the acts weren't about land redistribution. Option C is incorrect as the acts had nothing to do with Lincoln - appointed officers. Option D is incorrect as the acts were about protecting rights, not rebuilding the South with the Army in that context.

Answer:

B. Protect the rights of African Americans
