Reconstruction no relation Emancipation Proclamation
Re-entry to the Union
Following the end of the Civil War, Georgia was part of the Third Military District.
The war left most of Georgia devastated, with many dead and wounded, and the state's economy in shambles. The slaves were emancipated in 1865, and Reconstruction started immediately after the hostilities ceased.  Georgia did not re-enter the Union until July 15, 1870, as the last of the former Confederate states to be re-admitted.
The state remained poor well into the twentieth century.
