The Reconstruction Act of March 2, 1867, provided for the establishment of former Confederate states as territories and their division into five military districts, each of which would be governed by a military commander. This was done to ensure that the newly freed slaves in those states would be protected and that the political power of former Confederates would be limited. The act also required the adoption of new state constitutions that included African American suffrage and the ratification of the 14th Amendment.
