Yes, they lost the war and were conquered militarily so they could not leave the Union. Therefore they had to rejoin. But before they could regain the full powers of a member state in the union, congress required that the ratify the 14th Amendment to the constitution, guarantee the vote to black males, and prevent former high Confederate officials from serving in state government.
The Tennessee Pale Faces were a group of Ku Klux Klan wannabes who imitated the Klan's terrorism. They instituted a reign of terror against former slaves and white northerners. Groups like this were usually formed in efforts to intimidate blacks from exercising their rights as citizens and to maintain white supremacy.

During the Reconstruction Era, the old wounds of the defeated Confederacy were slow to heal. White supremacist groups and wealthy plantation owners, harassed former slaves through sheer terror and making it difficult for Blacks in the South to exercise their civil rights, such as voting.

After all the official surrenders of Confederate troops, Confederate guerrilla groups remained active well into the Summer of 1865. These groups feared that the Union would take revenge on them.
A few reasons Presidential Reconstruction failed after the Civil War ended was it did not address how former slaves would be accepted as citizens in the South and the civil rights acts previously enforced during Abraham Lincolnâ??s were suddenly declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. These events allowed for the southern elite to reclaim authority over the South by establishing Jim Crow laws.
