Radical+Reconstruction

 Radical Reconstruction was proposed by Andrew Johnson. It occured after the Republican Party took over most of Congress. It began with the Military Reconstruction Act of 1867. In this act, the south was divided into five military districts. Each district was governed by a Union general. Troops were sent out to keep peace in the territories.
