Congress used the Ku Klux Klan Acts to indict hundreds of Klansmen throughout the South. After 1872, on account of the federal government's readiness to use legal action, there was a decline in violence against Republicans and African Americans. The hatred may have been contained, but it was far from extinguished. Smoldering beneath the surface, it would flare up in the coming decades.

How did the southern states react to the removal of federal troops?

The southern states reacted to the removal of federal troops by reinstituting discriminatory laws and practices, often referred to as Jim Crow laws, that enforced racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans. This withdrawal emboldened white supremacist groups, leading to increased violence and intimidation against Black communities. The absence of federal oversight allowed southern governments to assert control and maintain white supremacy without fear of federal intervention. Overall, the removal marked a significant regression in civil rights for African Americans in the South.
