Southern states had to undergo a process known as Reconstruction to rejoin the Union after the Civil War. They were required to draft new state constitutions that guaranteed civil rights, particularly for formerly enslaved individuals, and ratify the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law. Additionally, they had to demonstrate loyalty to the Union and accept the abolition of slavery. Compliance with these conditions was often enforced by federal troops and legislation during the Reconstruction era.
