The four Reconstruction Acts, passed between 1867 and 1868, aimed to restructure the South after the Civil War. These acts divided the South into five military districts governed by Union generals, mandated the creation of new state constitutions guaranteeing African American male suffrage, required states to ratify the 14th Amendment, and stipulated that states must provide for the registration of voters to ensure fair elections. Compliance with these requirements was essential for Southern states to be readmitted to the Union.

The reconstruction era was good because it allowed the freedmen's Bureau and the Civil Rights Bill of 1866 to be passed. It was also win the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were passed. Also great sucesses like the Reconsrtuction Act of 1867 were passed.
The main goal for the reconstruction in the Civil War was to rebuild and accept the South in the US again, but radical republican reconstruction wanted to make the South pay for what they had done. The radical republican reconstruction was somewhat of a success in that they had several bills passed in Congress against the South.
After the Civil War, Southern states were readmitted to the Union through a process called Reconstruction, which involved several key steps. The U.S. Congress passed the Reconstruction Acts in 1867, dividing the South into military districts governed by Union generals. Southern states had to draft new constitutions that guaranteed civil rights for freed slaves and ratify the 14th Amendment to ensure their readmission. This process varied by state, and some faced challenges, including resistance from local populations and ongoing violence.
Congressional Reconstruction restricted eligibility for participation in the state constitutional conventions in the South. Presidential Reconstruction was run by the president. The president who at the time was Abraham Lincoln made it up. When he died Johnson took over the plan. Congress lost hope in him so they tried to impeach him. They also in turn took over and named there plan Congressional reconstruction. Therefore Congress made Congressional Reconstruction and The president made presidential reconstruction. The presidential reconstruction supported the 10% rule, while the congressional reconstruction rejected the rule, instead they supported the"forfeited-rights theory"which states that as long as the southerners rebelled against the union; they had forfeited their rights under the U.S. constitution.. Also the presidential rule was very lenient towards the southerners. and offered some form of amnesty to southerners who would take oath of allegiance. the congressional reconstruction wanted revenge against the south. During presidential Reconstruction efforts to help the newly freed slaves went well at first. The Freedmen's Bureau educated blacks and helped them adjust to their new way of life. But very soon the Southern states passed "black codes," which discriminated against blacks, and President Johnson did little to protect their rights. Once the Radical Republicans realized that they could override the president's veto, they sharply increased the pace and tone of Reconstruction. They promoted the 13th Amendment, passed the Civil Rights and Reconstruction Acts, sent soldiers to the South to provide law and order, made it difficult for former Rebels to hold public office, and opened the doors to black citizenship.

such monkey balls......
They passed four more Reconstruction laws.
Following the Union victory in the Civil War, Tennessee had already been readmitted to the Union in July 1866, The remaining Confederate States were governed by the North as military districts, as per the Reconstruction Act passed in March 1867.
The Presidential opposition and Southern States resistance to the Fourteenth Amendment and to Reconstruction so outraged the Congress that in March 1867 it passed a Reconstruction Act that imposed its desired version on the South by means of a diktat. Therefore all former Confederate States but one (Tennessee had been readmitted in 1866 to the Union), were grouped into five military districts, each ruled by a military governor in order to push forward the Reconstruction program according to the Congress wishes and check the progress done.
In March 1867 the Congress passed the Reconstruction Act, which imposed to the former Confederate States, with exception of Tennessee that had been readmitted to the Union in 1866, to be grouped into five military districts. Each district had to be ruled by a military governor . Each State was to organise a convention to amend its own constitution in order to conform with the Constitution of the United States, including the incorporation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Only after accepting and carrying out the conditions provided for that sort of diktat, those States were readmitted in the Union between 1868 and 1870.
