Congress ensured southerners followed their Radical Reconstruction plans through the implementation of the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, which divided the South into military districts governed by Union generals. These military authorities enforced new civil rights laws and supervised the registration of voters, including freedmen. Additionally, Congress required Southern states to draft new constitutions guaranteeing civil rights and to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment before being readmitted to the Union. This federal oversight aimed to protect the rights of freed African Americans and to prevent former Confederates from regaining political power.

When President Andrew Johnson vetoed radical reconstruction laws in 1866, it sparked a significant conflict with Congress, which sought to impose stricter measures for the Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War. His vetoes were overridden by Congress, leading to the establishment of the Reconstruction Acts that aimed to protect the rights of newly freed African Americans. This conflict intensified the political divide between Johnson and the Radical Republicans, ultimately resulting in Johnson's impeachment in 1868, although he was acquitted by a single vote.
