The readmission of Southern states to the Union following the American Civil War occurred in phases between 1865 and 1870 during the era of Reconstruction. The process moved geographically from border states like Tennessee and Arkansas towards the Deep South, with each state required to meet specific conditions outlined by the federal government. The timeline of readmission varied, but generally, the border states were readmitted earlier than those deeper into the South. Conditions included ratifying the 14th Amendment, adopting new constitutions, and allowing African American men to vote. Military Reconstruction, with Union troops occupying certain states, played a role in states facing resistance. The complexities of Reconstruction, influenced by political, social, and economic factors, contributed to the varied experiences of Southern states in rejoining the Union.
