The indictment of President Trump brings The Enforcement Act of 1870, a post Civil War Act by the Grant Administration, into the news. What research paths might students follow in the Library of Congress to understand this Act? I’ve found the Ulysses S. Grant Papers and also quite a few references in Chronicling America written around that date - really interesting.
Outside the Library, The National Park Service and the Senate also have solid articles. What else have you found and what would be your approach to teaching about this Act?
