b) Military Reconstruction

During the Reconstruction era, a unique policy known as Military Reconstruction was implemented to reintegrate Confederate states into the Union. This policy, enacted through the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, divided the South into military districts governed by Union generals. It aimed to enforce civil rights laws and oversee the establishment of new state governments. Military Reconstruction represented a significant federal intervention in the post-Civil War South, reflecting the challenges of rebuilding and integrating the nation after the conflict.
