The Military Reconstruction Acts, of 1867 and 68 were four statutes passed during the Reconstruction Era following the War Between the States.A key feature of the Acts was the creation of five military districts in the South, each commanded by a general. These districts would serve as the acting government for the region.In addition, they required each state draft a new state constitution, which would have to be approved by Congress.

Additionally, the assassination of key political figures such as Abraham Lincoln and the rise of white supremacist groups further hindered progress.
