background: The Omnibus Admission Bill of 1868 was a key Reconstruction-era law passed by Congress to readmit multiple former Confederate states back into the Union at once, including Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Alabama, after they met conditions like ratifying the 14th Amendment and establishing new governments protecting freedmen’s rights. This bill marked a major step in restoring these states’ full political representation and shifting control from military to civilian rule, helping to unify the readmission process during the turbulent post-Civil War period.
