Focusing on the information that confirms your existing beliefs

Is is it true that the reconstruction acts were those that restricted the overall freedom of African-Americans
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If you are referring to the Reconstruction Acts passed by Congress after the American Civil War, then no.  For the most part the Reconstruction Acts protected the freedom of African-Americans.  The Reconstruction Acts of 1867 and 1868 defined how the Southern States would be readmitted to the Union.  The bills were written by the Radical Republicans.  Radical Republicans were committed to enfranchisement and equal rights for freedmen.  The rebel states were divided into five military districts. The states had to write new constitutions that protect the freedmen's right to vote. Each state had to ratify the 14th Amendment.
