Detailed explanation-1: -The violence brought strong reaction from northern newspapers and Congress. After the New Orleans riot, many congressmen decided the South would have to be forced to give the freedmen their rights. Congress established a Joint Com-mittee on Reconstruction to examine the situation in the South.
Detailed explanation-2: -General Philip Sheridan served as its first military governor, enforcing the Reconstruction Acts and removing some Confederate sympathizers from office. This outraged U.S. President Andrew Johnson, who ordered his removal from the Fifth in August 1867.
Detailed explanation-3: -Radical Republicans wanted to punish the South for causing the Civil War. In order to ensure that the new state governments were committed to equality, the Radical Republicans split the South into five military districts, each headed by a northern general.

Detailed explanation-5: -What two actions did Congress require Louisiana to take in order to remove military Reconstruction? The state had to ratify the 14th Amendment and it had to write a new state constitution that included the right to vote for all males.
