Detailed explanation-1: -By December, all the ex-Confederate states seek readmission except Texas. But South Carolina refuses to condemn its act of secession; Mississippi refuses to ratify the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery; and several states refuse to repudiate their war debt.
Detailed explanation-2: -On May 16th, the Confederate Congress authorized the recruiting of 400, 000 volunteers. Four days later, on May 20th, 1861, North Carolina became the last state to join the new Confederacy.
Detailed explanation-3: -And despite the formal end of slavery in the United States, Texas and other former Confederate states enacted restrictions for African Americans that severely limited their rights. Despite those tensions, after an uneasy five years, Texas was readmitted to the Union in March of 1870.
Detailed explanation-4: -Virginia was re-admitted back into the Union in 1870. Only Texas and Georgia had not complied with the requirements to re-join the Union.
