Military Reconstruction Act of 1867
Congressional Reconstruction, enacted by the Radical Republicans after the Civil War, aimed to rebuild the South and secure civil rights for freed slaves. It included the Military Reconstruction Act of 1867, which divided the South into military districts governed by Union generals. Southern states were required to draft new constitutions guaranteeing African American suffrage and to ratify the 14th Amendment to gain readmission to the Union. This plan sought to ensure equal rights and prevent the re-establishment of pre-war Southern power structures.

Tennessee was the only Confederate state not placed in a military district during the Reconstruction era. After the Civil War, it was the first state to be readmitted to the Union in 1866, which exempted it from military oversight that was imposed on other former Confederate states. This early readmission allowed Tennessee to bypass some of the Reconstruction policies that affected its counterparts.
