May 30, 1865---"Restoration"



MAY 30, 1865:           

The Confederate Legislature of Mississippi meets, votes that the State shall hold a Convention in order to expedite its return to the Union, and then votes to dissolve itself. This becomes the pattern for all State Reconstructions under President Johnson’s new plan. All ex-Confederates who have taken the Oath of Allegiance to the United States may, and do, participate in the various State Conventions.
