Which statement best describes Southern military districts during Reconstruction?

A. Each state became a separate military district.

B. The South was divided into five different military districts.

C. Each district was governed by a member of Congress.

D. The districts all rejoined the Union at the same time.

Correct answer option is:

B) The South was divided into five different military districts.

Explanation:

With the Radical Republicans completely in command of Congress after the mid-term polls of 1866, they immediately declared the Military Reconstruction Acts of 1867. These acts separated the south into five military divisions. Each region was placed under the military authority and new polls were held with voting only approved by Congress approved voters, which were often former captives. Each nation was also needed to approve the 13th and 14th Amendments after selecting new state organizations. This could only be achieved after new public administrators were elected that had guaranteed their devotion to the Federalists.

". The South was divided into five different military districts" would be the best option, since the way in which the federal government presided over each district was generally the same.
