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.
