There were 11 southern states that seceded from the Union. This took place at the beginning of the Civil War, and these states were called the Confederate States of America.
Southern states had to meet several requirements to be readmitted into the Union after the Civil War. They were required to draft new state constitutions that abolished slavery, ratify the 14th Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law, and establish new governments that included African American participation. Additionally, they had to demonstrate a commitment to upholding the rights of freed slaves and fostering loyalty to the Union.
