During Reconstruction, Congress organized the South primarily through the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, which divided the former Confederate states into five military districts governed by Union generals. This military oversight aimed to enforce order and protect the rights of newly freed African Americans. Congress also required states to draft new constitutions guaranteeing civil rights and to ratify the 14th Amendment before regaining representation in Congress. These measures were designed to facilitate the transition to a more equitable society and ensure the protection of rights for all citizens.
