Question

What method did the federal government take to enforce the Reconstruction Acts of 1867? (5 points) Group of answer choices Offered pardons to former Confederate leaders Granted women the right to vote in federal elections Divided the South into military districts Impeached the president for vetoing too many bills

Answer 1

The right answer is Divided the South into military districts.

All Southern states, but Tennessee (The state had already ratified the 14th amendment) were divided into 5 military districts. The Reconstruction Act designated new state constitutions aligned with the North's effort to Reconstruct the South, guaranteeing votes to African Americans and protecting order and the “rights of persons and property.”
