The military occupation

Explanation:

Life became unbearable for Southerners after the end of the Civil War(especially whites), they needed an authorization for almost anything like picking your mail at the Post Office or rebuilding your house that general Sherman destroyed without a warrant. The blue coats occupied the territory until 1877 and literally terrorized the population.
