reconstruction era: key amendments, policies, and social changes
why was georgia placed under military control again?

Explanation:

Georgia was returned to military control in 1868 because the state's government had violated Reconstruction-era requirements, specifically by refusing to ratify the 14th Amendment and implementing restrictive black codes that undermined the rights of newly freed African Americans. This violated the terms of Reconstruction, leading the federal government to reimpose military rule to enforce compliance with civil rights protections and Reconstruction policies.

Answer:

Georgia was placed under military control again because its state government refused to ratify the 14th Amendment and enacted discriminatory black codes that suppressed the rights of formerly enslaved people, violating federal Reconstruction mandates.
