When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Akerman joined the Confederate Army, where he achieved the rank of colonel. After the end of the war in 1865, Akerman joined the Republican Party during Reconstruction. He became an outspoken attorney advocate for freedmen's civil rights in Georgia. Akerman was appointed by President Ulysses S. Grant as his U.S. Attorney General; with Grant's support, he vigorously prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan under the Enforcement Acts. Akerman was assisted by Solicitor General Benjamin Bristow in the newly established Department of Justice. Attorney General Akerman also prosecuted important land grant cases that concerned railroads in a rapidly expanding West. Akerman advised on the United States first federal Civil Service Reform law implemented by President Grant and the U.S. Congress. Possibly due to Akerman's rulings against the Union Pacific Railroad, Grant asked for Akerman's resignation from the cabinet. Although Akerman left office at Grant's request, he continued to support Grant. He returned to Georgia, practiced law, and remained highly popular in the state.

Trots att Akerman var motståndare till sydstaternas utträde ur USA, deltog han ändå i amerikanska inbördeskriget på sydstaternas sida. Han blev motståndare till slaveriet och spelade en stor roll i Georgia under rekonstruktionstiden, bl.a. som medlem av delstatens grundlagskonvention 1868. Han var USA:s justitieminister 1870-1871 under president Ulysses S. Grant. USA:s justitiedepartement grundades samma år som Akerman tillträdde som justitieminister; tidigare justitieministrar hade saknat ett eget departement. Korruption och Ku Klux Klan innebar stora utmaningar för Akerman och justitiedepartementet.
