Answer:

allow all freed men over the age of 21 to vote

Step-by-step explanation:

The Reconstruction is the period that followed the American Civil War, during that time the Union developed a series of policies to reconstruct the nation because of the destruction of war.

The first action the Republican majority took was the First Reconstruction Act that split the South into 5 districts that would have martial law.

During that period, Southern states needed to draft new constitutions that guaranteed African-American men the right to vote and they also needed to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment that guaranteed African Americans equal protection under the law.
