to readmit the Confederate states
back into the Union

Congress and pass the
Reconstruction Act of 1867

Confederate states
– Divided those states into five military
districts
– Setup process for states readmission to
Union

Amendments

for wages, and build A.A. culture.

Southern cotton
• A.A. terrorized by racial violence
