Question

Martial law was declared in the South.

Answer 1

The following results apply to the Reconstruction Act of 1867:

• Former enslaved persons were given the right to vote.
• Martial law was declared in the South.

The Reconstruction Act of 1867 aimed to rebuild the South and ensure the rights of newly freed slaves, including granting them the right to vote. It also established military governance in Southern states that had not ratified the 14th Amendment, effectively imposing martial law. However, the emancipation of enslaved persons had already been achieved prior to this act with the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865.
