During Reconstruction, the federal government, specifically the Union Army and federal officials, enforced the laws in the South. This was done to ensure that the newly implemented policies, such as the Reconstruction Amendments and civil rights laws, were upheld in the region.

When Johnson fired his Secretary of War over disagreements, it led to his impeachment, and he narrowly retained the Presidency. "Radical Reconstruction" was soon underway, with military governors taking control of the states of the former Confederacy.
