The Reconstruction Acts were a series of laws passed by the U.S. Congress in 1867 aimed at rebuilding and integrating the Southern states after the Civil War. These acts divided the South into five military districts governed by Union generals and required Southern states to draft new constitutions guaranteeing civil rights and voting rights for African American men. The acts also established procedures for readmitting states into the Union, emphasizing the importance of protecting the rights of newly freed slaves. Reconstruction ultimately sought to address the political, social, and economic challenges resulting from the war and the abolition of slavery.
