The correct response is: **The Southern states needed to make changes to their laws to be readmitted to the Union.**
The First Reconstruction Act of 1867 mandated that Southern states, including Texas, needed to draft new constitutions and ensure civil rights for freedmen in order to gain readmission to the Union. This act was part of a larger effort to rebuild the South and ensure the integration of formerly enslaved people into society.
