October 17, 1871. U. S. Grant suspends habeas corpus.
Significant Dates in Grant's Life:


October 17, 1871
Suspends the writ of habeas corpus in nine South Carolina counties, one of the boldest displays of peacetime presidential power in U.S. history. Following this, Grant would send federal troops to South Carolina and pursue a prosecution of white supremacist terrorism that would destroy the Ku Klux Klan within one year.
