The Confederate states were gradually readmitted to the Union during the Reconstruction era, which followed the Civil War. The process began in 1868 when several states, including Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Tennessee, were officially readmitted. By 1870, all former Confederate states had been readmitted, with the exception of Texas, which had been readmitted earlier in 1869. However, the full integration and reconciliation of these states into the Union continued well into the following decades.
Tennessee was the first state to be readmitted into the Union on July 24th, 1866.
