The first Confederate state to be readmitted was North Carolina on July, 1868.
With exception of Tennessee, which was readmitted in 1866, the ten former Confederate States were readmitted between 1868 and 1870.
It was readmitted through the process of Reconstruction.

In March 1867 the Congress passed the Reconstruction Act, which imposed to the former Confederate States, with exception of Tennessee that had been readmitted to the Union in 1866, to be grouped into five military districts. Each district had to be ruled by a military governor . Each State was to organise a convention to amend its own constitution in order to conform with the Constitution of the United States, including the incorporation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Only after accepting and carrying out the conditions provided for that sort of diktat, those States were readmitted in the Union between 1868 and 1870.

The Wade-Davis Reconstruction Bill would also have abolished slavery, but it required that 50 percent of a state's White males take a loyalty oath to the United States (and swear they had never assisted the Confederacy) to be readmitted to the Unio
