[PAR] [TLE] Ulysses S. Grant [SEP] Ulysses S. Grant, born Hiram Ulysses Grant , (April 27, 1822 – July 23, 1885) was the Commanding General of the United States Army at the end of the American Civil War and later the 18th President of the United States from 1869 to 1877.  As Commanding General, Grant worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln to lead the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the Civil War.  Supported by Congress, Grant implemented Reconstruction, often at odds with President Andrew Johnson.  Twice elected president, Grant led the Republicans in their effort to remove the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protect African-American citizenship, and support economic prosperity.  Although his presidency has often been criticized for multiple administration scandals and for his failure to alleviate the economic depression following the Panic of 1873, he is regarded as a President who performed relatively well in the context of his time and pursued justice for all. [PAR] [TLE] Second Enforcement Act of 1871 [SEP] The Enforcement Act of 1871 (17 Stat.  13 ), also known as the Civil Rights Act of 1871, Force Act of 1871, Ku Klux Klan Act, Third Enforcement Act, or Third Ku Klux Klan Act, is an Act of the United States Congress which empowered the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to combat the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and other white supremacy organizations.  The act was passed by the 42nd United States Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on April 20, 1871.  The act was the last of three Enforcement Acts passed by the United States Congress from 1870 to 1871 during the Reconstruction Era to combat attacks upon the suffrage rights of African Americans.  The statute has been subject to only minor changes since then, but has been the subject of voluminous interpretation by courts.
