There were a total of 11 states that seceded and then were readmitted to the Union. All of them were confederate states. They were South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
The Union victory meant that the southern states never actually left the Union, so they didn't need to be readmitted.
They had to swear an oath of allegiance to the United States. Ten percent of the states voters had to want back in. Each state had to abolish the institution of slavery.
