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.
Reconstruction began in 1865 with the ratification of the thirteenth Amendment. In 1867, all of the Reconstruction acts passed even with Johnson's veto. In 1877, the last federal troops leave the South and Rutherford B. Hayes is elected president.

The reconstruction plan that placed the South under military rule and aimed to punish it for secession was implemented during the Radical Reconstruction period, primarily associated with Congress and leaders like Thaddeus Stevens. This approach involved the Military Reconstruction Acts of 1867, which divided the South into military districts governed by Union generals. The goal was to enforce civil rights for freed slaves and ensure political compliance from Southern states, reflecting a desire to hold the South accountable for the Civil War.
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 reconstruction acts is required by government. This was passed after the American Civil War.
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.

The four Reconstruction Acts, passed by Congress in 1867, were known as the First Reconstruction Act, the Second Reconstruction Act, the Third Reconstruction Act, and the Fourth Reconstruction Act. These acts aimed to establish military governance in the Southern states, ensure the civil rights of freedmen, and set the conditions for re-admittance of the Southern states into the Union. They required states to create new constitutions guaranteeing voting rights to African American men and to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment.

In 1867 the state of Mississippi sought an injunction to stop US President Johnson's ability to enforce the Reconstruction acts of March, 1867. The state claimed the acts were unconstitutional.The US Supreme Court rejected the plea for the injunction on the grounds that the Court had no legal means to prevent the president from enforcing his "official" duties of enforcing the laws. This case remains a disputed one even today. The case was Mississippi vs. Johnson.
