The act divided the South into 5 military districts. The act applied to all ex-Confederate states in the South. Each state was required to ratify the 13th and 14th Amendments. It took away the equality of the Southern states, and Southern politicians argued that Congress had illegally passed the act due to the lack of representation of Southern states. ]]> 2016-09-06 15:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/211267/8qxhkho0kyln/wish/121825795 211267 https://padlet.com/211267/8qxhkho0kyln/wish/121835120 Hiram Revels was the first African American senator.
