It was a "voluntary request" to rejoin only after the Union Army was unleashed on them and allowed to wreak havoc for four years. No coercion at all there. Nope, none. Rejoin? The Southern states were never out of the Union to begin with.

The Southern states were never out of the Union to begin with.Except, of course, when declaring that the Southern states were out of the Union suited the needs of the Northern Congress in order to pass the 14th amendment.
