plan for Reconstruction required former Confederate states to do three things in order be readmitted into the Union. What were they?

The three requirements for former Confederate states to be readmitted to the Union under the Reconstruction plan were:

2. Rejecting the secessionist doctrine, which held that states had the right to leave the Union.

3. Disenfranchising Confederate leaders, including former Confederate civil and military officers, as well as those who had voluntarily aided the Confederacy.
