What caused US Reconstruction to be doomed?

Reconstruction was doomed from the start because southerners had to account for their terrible loss. This was in lives and their patrimony. The acceptance of any Reconstruction policy would have negated the cause for which they fought for and so many died. When Congress imposed a reconstruction policy that included even a small sense of black civil equality & black suffrage, most white southerners could & did not accept the legitimacy of governments that were elected. The white South was never more the "solid South" than in the period of Congressional Reconstruction. This was regretful, but the results speak for themselves.

What does this mean Southern states would prefer military rule to civil government based on universal male suffrage?

No; it is unclear where you obtain the "What does this mean" followed by southern states would prefer military rule to civil government? And where does the universal male suffrage originate? I know of no group who espouses the draft for young males. And what group, my good Lord, wants military rule? Don't know from where you obtain this information, but it is neither accurate nor even approaches reality.
