The First Reconstruction Act of March 2, 1867, over a presidential veto,
established military dictatorships in 5 southern areas until the occupied
states had "new constitutions guaranteeing the blacks the right to vote and
disfranchising" ex confederate leaders. The states were also required
to have accepted the Fourteenth Amendment.
My name is Josie and I'll be teaching the next few classes on Reconstruction.
 Dick has asked me
to be your instructor for this period of American History. I'm not
always instructing for Dick. If you'd like to learn more about me,
and you're over 18, I'll show you how you can visit me, just as soon as you
finish this lesson.
As you look at my picture, think of me as being beneath the bridge of
reconstruction. If the bridge over my head isn't strong enough, I'll be dead
before you learn about reconstruction. The Bridge over my head is strong.
I won't die. But the post civil war's reconstruction bridge between
the north and south was not so strong. It collapsed and many Americans
died.
Nothing really happened after the First Reconstruction Act, and a Second
Reconstruction Act was written. This Second Act required the military
authorities to register voters and oversee an election. A Third Reconstruction
Act clarified the processes the authorities would use. Nothing happened,
because whites simply avoided the election process. A year later, Congress
changed the rules to allow a majority of citizens to ratify the constitution.
This started the ball rolling and, by 1870, all confederate states had been
readmitted. The Reconstruction Bridge did hold up long enough to reunite
the nation's north and south white leaders. It would not hold up long
enough to bring the freedman into the main stream of American prosperity.
And, now, as I promised, if you're over 18, you can visit me and see
what I do when I'm not giving college lectures.
