The Southern Homestead Act was in enacted in 1866 as a federal law in the United States. This law was enacted to repay the debt during reconstruction after the Civil War.
Abraham Lincoln hoped to accomplish the reconstruction by making all of the southern states agree to every proclamation and every Congressional act put forth. Andrew Johnson modified this plan by not making all of the states comply to this rule.
The provisions of the Reconstruction Act of 1867 were that the South would be divided into 5 military regions, members of the ruling class before the war lost their voting rights, and in order for the Southern states to reenter the Union, they had to approve new state constitutions that gave the vote to all men, including African Americans and they had to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Southern resistance to Reconstruction and President Johnson's efforts to further that resistance. Presidential attitude made Congress so outraged, that in march 1867 it passed a Reconstruction Act made out to impose its wanted pattern of a postwar settlement upon the South by diktat. Ten former Confederate States were therefore assembled into five military districts, each of them under the rule of a military governor provided with massive powers, in order to assure law and order. The State were then to organise conventions to amend their state Constitutions in accordance with the Constitution of the US, also providing the Fourteenth Amendment was to be included in the same.
Booth's actions adversely affected the Reconstruction of the south by making a no college education southerner America's president which was very bad about it. This President strengthened Congress probably without even knowing it. Southern states passed "Black Codes" restricted interracial marriage and condemning them to one town which enraged Congress. Congress than passed the Reconstruction act which did not allow states back into the union until they ratified the 14th amendment that all people including African Americans and citizens that were born in the United States or naturalized were citizens of the United States of America.
The Reconstruction Act of 1876 provided for the rebuilding of the Southern United States following the Civil War, which was hugely destructive in terms of loss of life and damage to the infrastructure of the South.
With exception of Tennessee, which was readmitted in 1866, the ten former Confederate States were readmitted between 1868 and 1870.
The Reconstruction Acts divided the south into five military districts. Each district was commanded by a general, which would serve as the acting government for the region.
After the Civil War the first reconstruction act was enacted in 1867. This divided the southern states into five territories that were each governed by marshal law. The five districts included; 1. Virginia, 2. North and South Carolina, 3. Alabama, Georgia and Florida, 4. Arkansas and Mississippi and 5. Texas and Louisiana.

the Reconstruction Act
Radical regimes- The murderous Memphis and New Orleans race riots of 1866 proved that Reconstruction needed to be declared and enforced, and the Military Reconstruction Act jump-started this process. Congress chose to send the military, creating "radical regimes" throughout the secessionist states. Radical Republicans hoped that by declaring martial law in the South and passing the Second Reconstruction Act, they would be able to create a Republican political base in the seceded states to facilitate their plans for Radical Reconstruction. Though most southern whites hated the "regimes" that Congress established, they proved successful in speeding up Reconstruction. Indeed, by 1870 all of the southern states had been readmitted to the Union. AJ SANDUGI helped (:
Military Reconstruction Act
it created military rule for the ten unreconstructed southern states and a new loyalty oath that disfranchised (took away the vote) from most white voters.
Abraham Lincoln hoped to accomplish the reconstruction by making all of the southern states agree to every proclamation and every Congressional act put forth. Andrew Johnson modified this plan by not making all of the states comply to this rule.
The Congressional Reconstruction Act of 1867 organized the south into 5 military districts, and the states had to have a military leader from the north (Marshall law). The southern states also had abolish of the black codes,and ratify the 14th amendment. This act also banned Confederate leaders from voting, and any who didn't pledge their allegiance to the U.S.
The Fugitive Slave Act was added to the Compromise of 1850 to please southern states. This act required that all runaway slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were in free states.
