During Reconstruction, which term described areas in the South under federal military control?

• A. Readmission
• B. Military Districts
• C. Desegregation
• D. Exposition

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how Reconstruction used direct federal control to reshape the South. After the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, the former Confederate states were divided into five military districts, each governed by a Union general and stationed troops. This arrangement put these areas under military authority to enforce new laws, oversee elections, and protect the rights of newly freedpeople while new state governments were being established and required to accept measures like the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. That is why the term describing these areas is Military Districts. Readmission is about a state rejoining the Union after meeting conditions, desegregation refers to ending racial segregation, and exposition isn’t a Reconstruction term.
