Explanation

The Reconstruction Acts of 1867 placed the former Confederate states, except Tennessee, under military rule and divided them into five military districts. The acts also set requirements for those states to rejoin the Union, including approving new constitutions and ratifying the Fourteenth Amendment. They did not ban all Southerners from Congress, grant voting rights to every adult, or restrict African Americans’ employment.
