As Florida, like the other former Confederate States was reluctant to accept the guidelines about the Reconstruction, the Congress passed a Reconstruction Act in March 1867 which imposed its desired version of a postwar settlement on the south by diktat.
Therefore Florida (like the other aforesaid States) had to accept:
1 - to be ruled by a military governor,
2 - to organise a Convention in order to amend its State's Constitution conforming the same with the Constitution of the United States, including the incorporation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
After having completed these stages Florida was to be readmitted to the Union and to restore its representation in the Federal Congress.
