The Presidential opposition and Southern States resistance to the Fourteenth Amendment and to Reconstruction so outraged the Congress that in March 1867 it passed a Reconstruction Act that imposed its desired version on the South by means of a diktat.
Therefore all former Confederate States but one (Tennessee had been readmitted in 1866 to the Union), were grouped into five military districts, each ruled by a military governor in order to push forward the Reconstruction program according to the Congress wishes and check the progress done.

here's a blurb i found when trying to answer this same question for my homework:Radical Reconstruction, also known as Congressional Reconstruction, was the time when congressional Republicans, moderates and Radicals, controlled Reconstruction in the South. Prior to Republican control, Andrew Johnson's Presidential Reconstruction had allowed ex-Confederate leaders to regain power in southern state governments. He lost control over Reconstruction when congressional elections in the fall of 1866 led to a two-thirds majority of Republicans in both houses of Congress. When the Fortieth Congress returned in March 1867, presidential Reconstruction ended.Hope that helped you!!
