Plzz help will mark Brainliest True or False: The only requirement for the confederate states to re-join the union after the Civil War was for them to ratify the 13th Amendment that abolishes slavery.

False. The requirement for the Confederate states to re-join the Union after the Civil War was not limited to just ratifying the 13th Amendment, although that was a crucial part. The process of Reconstruction included several other requirements and conditions that the Confederate states had to meet before they were readmitted into the Union.

The Reconstruction era (1865-1877) involved various Congressional Acts and Constitutional Amendments. Initially, under President Abraham Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan, a Confederate state could rejoin the Union once 10% of its voters swore an oath of allegiance to the Union and accepted the end of slavery. However, after Lincoln's assassination, new President Andrew Johnson offered his own plan, which was more lenient toward the former Confederate states and did not fully protect the rights of newly freed slaves.

Later on, Congress passed the Reconstruction Acts, which established military districts in the South and required the former Confederate states to draft new state constitutions that upheld the 14th Amendment (granting citizenship and equal civil and legal rights to African Americans and former slaves) and to guarantee black men the right to vote in accordance with the 15th Amendment. Only after meeting these and other conditions, including the ratification of these amendments, could the Southern states be readmitted to the Union.
