42 U.S.C. Section 1985, known as the Ku Klux Klan Act, addresses conspiracies to interfere with or deprive others of their civil rights. The three post-Civil War statutes are now codified as 42 U.S.C. sections 1981, 1983, and 1985. They prohibit discrimination on the basis of race in making and enforcing contracts; prohibit the denial of civil rights on the basis of race by someone behaving as if they are acting on behalf of the government (called under color of state law); and prohibit concerted activity to deny someone their rights based on race.
