The Presidential opposition and Southern States resistance to the Fourteenth Amendment and to Reconstruction so outraged the Congress that in March 1867 it passed a Reconstruction Act that imposed its desired version on the South by means of a diktat. Therefore all former Confederate States but one (Tennessee had been readmitted in 1866 to the Union), were grouped into five military districts, each ruled by a military governor in order to push forward the Reconstruction program according to the Congress wishes and check the progress done.
