Elected delegates representing counties from all over Alabama met in Montgomery to thrash out plans for November elections and the passage of measures that would satisfy the federal govenment that the state would again play a full role in the nation's affairs. Among the measures Washington demanded were the abolition of slavery and protection for those freed, and the repudiation of all Confederate debts. These passed and elections were held that November.
