What was the Second Reconstruction Act?

The Second Reconstruction Act, passed in March 1867, was a federal law enacted to further define the process for readmitting former Confederate states into the Union. It built upon the First Reconstruction Act by providing specific procedures for voter registration and elections, including the empowerment of Union-appointed military officers to oversee these processes. Additionally, it mandated oaths of loyalty to the Union, aiming to prevent individuals associated with the Confederate government from participating in the process of forming new state governments.
