The chronological order for these events is as follows:
1. Wade Bill: In early 1866, Senator Benjamin Wade introduced the Wade-Davis Bill, which proposed a more rigorous plan for Reconstruction, requiring a majority of white males in each Southern state to take a loyalty oath before they could be readmitted to the Union.
2. Reconstruction Act: On March 2, 1867, the Reconstruction Act was passed by the U.S. Congress. This act divided the South into five military districts, each commanded by a Union general. It also spelled out the conditions under which the Southern states could be readmitted to the Union.
3. 15th Amendment: The 15th Amendment was proposed on February 26, 1869, and ratified on February 3, 1870. It granted African American men the right to vote and prohibited the denial of suffrage based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
4. Compromise: The Compromise of 1877 was an informal agreement reached in 1877 between Southern Democrats and Republicans to resolve the disputed presidential election of 1876. As part of the compromise, Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner, and in return, certain concessions were made to Southern Democrats, including the withdrawal of federal troops from the South, effectively ending Reconstruction.
