Radical Reconstruction

Question 4 • GA-GSE Grade 8 Georgia Studies

Which statement best describes military districts in the South during Reconstruction?

Answer
A
Each state became a separate military district.
B
A major general commanded each district.
C
A member of Congress governed each district.
D
The districts all rejoined the Union at the same time.

Explanation

The Reconstruction Acts divided the former Confederate states that had not yet rejoined the Union into five military districts. Each district was placed under the command of a Union major general, so “A major general commanded each district” is the best description. The districts were not one per state, and they did not all rejoin at the same time.
