AS YOU CAN SEE, NOT MANY STATES JOINED THE SOUTHERN STATES. MANY JOINED THE NORTHERN STATES !
During Reconstruction, President Abraham Lincoln implemented what was known as the Ten Percent Plan, a method of reinstating the Southern states into the Union.The Ten Percent Plan allowed states to be readmitted into the Union once ten percent of the 1860 vote count from that state took an oath of allegiance to the United States and pledged to conform to emancipation policies.The voters could then elect delegates to draft revised state constitutions and create new state governments.
The Union victory meant that the southern states never actually left the Union, so they didn't need to be readmitted.
