The Civil War left the South destroyed and , as a reunited country, the government was tasked with developing a strategy for reconnecting the North and South and rebuilding the land destroyed by the battles. President Abraham Lincoln presented a method for reconstruction, but upon his death, the idea was abandoned. Lincoln's vice president, Andrew Johnson presented another theory that was also dismissed. To begin work on reconstruction in 1865, the Freedmen's Bureau was formed as a welfare agency that educated free blacks and promised to give all former slaves forty acres of ex-Confederate land. However, this promise was not kept, and Johnson let the Bureau expire in 1872. Congress eventually passed the Reconstitution Act on March 2, 1867. The Act divided the South into five military districts that were led by a Union general and policed by Union soldiers. It also required that all rejoining states allow free black men to vote and receive the rights guaranteed to him in the Fourteenth Amendment. However, not all states that rejoined the Union met these requirements.
