• because the Union wanted to punish Texas for seceding

Answer 1

Reconstruction took place in Texas primarily because it was a condition for readmitting Southern states into the Union. After the Civil War, the federal government implemented Reconstruction policies to rebuild and integrate the Southern states back into the United States, ensuring that certain conditions, such as the protection of civil rights for newly freed African Americans, were met.
