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 the South and integrate formerly Confederate states back into the United States, ensuring civil rights and access to the political process for freed slaves and other marginalized groups.
