Beschreibung:

The Military Reconstruction Acts of 1867 were pivotal legislation passed by Congress to impose military control over the Southern states that had seceded, dividing them into five military districts to enforce the policies of Reconstruction. These acts also laid down new guidelines for the readmission of these states into the Union, requiring them to ratify the 14th Amendment and guarantee voting rights to all male citizens regardless of race.
