The Reconstruction Act of 1867 was one of the four Acts the Congress passed from 1867 to 1868 following the American Civil War. They outlined the conditions under which most Southern states would re-enter the Union.

This act divided the ten Southern states (South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, and North Carolina) into five military districts, that would be ruled by a Union general until: (1) they approved the 14th Amendment, which ensured citizenship and equal rights for African Americans, (2) they drafted new states constitutions (3) people voted on them (which include African American and white men alike) (4) and these laws were approved by Congress.
