The Confederate states had to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution before being readmitted to the Union as part of the Reconstruction Acts of 1867. These acts established the process for Southern states to rejoin the Union, requiring them to create new state constitutions, ensure civil rights for freedmen, and ratify the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to all persons born or naturalized in the U.S.
