When did Virginia ratify the constitution?
The Virginia Plan was written on May 29th, 1787.
How many states remained part of the union in 1863?
In 1863, four slave states remained in the Union. These were Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution made slavery illegal in all the states in 1865.
Why didn't the Constitution stop the Civil War from happening?
Little known is that the Southern states did not violate the Constitution by seceding. Most likely, the writers of the Constitution did not foresee that states would ever want to secede, and so they made no provision for dealing with secession. Three years after the Confederacy was defeated, the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified, making it illegal for any more states to secede from the US. Since the Civil War there may have been motions in some state legislatures to secede (I have heard about one in Alaska) but no US state has yet violated the 14th Amendment.
What year did the Civil War end and slavery was also ending after Civil War?
The Civil War ended in 1865 - on April 9, 1865, when Lee surrendered to Grant.Slavery ended when the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified. The 13th Amendment was passed by both Houses, and approved by President Lincoln in February 1865. It was ratified in December 1865 by 3/4 of the states. (Ratification by 3/4 of the states, is one method, which allows an amendment to be binding on all states.)
According to the Constitution which branch of government is responsible for readmitting states that have seceded from the Union?
the Constitution does not address this question.
