The four Reconstruction Acts, passed by Congress in 1867, were known as the First Reconstruction Act, the Second Reconstruction Act, the Third Reconstruction Act, and the Fourth Reconstruction Act. These acts aimed to establish military governance in the Southern states, ensure the civil rights of freedmen, and set the conditions for re-admittance of the Southern states into the Union. They required states to create new constitutions guaranteeing voting rights to African American men and to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment.
The reconstruction plan that was effectively killed by a pocket veto was the Congressional Reconstruction plan of 1867, specifically the Reconstruction Act of 1867. President Andrew Johnson, who opposed many aspects of the plan, did not sign it into law and instead allowed it to expire by taking no action within the 10-day window, effectively preventing its implementation. This act aimed to establish military governance in the South and ensure civil rights for freed slaves, but Johnson's inaction stymied these efforts. The pocket veto exemplified the ongoing conflict between Johnson and Congress over the direction of Reconstruction.
Under the Reconstruction Act of 1867, the South was ruled by military governors appointed by the federal government. This military rule was established to enforce order and oversee the transition to new state governments that would be formed under the terms of the Act. The aim was to ensure compliance with federal laws and protect the rights of newly freed African Americans during the Reconstruction period. This military oversight lasted until the southern states were readmitted to the Union and new governments were established.
