Black codes Summary

edit

Black codes were enacted in 1865-1866 as a way for white dominance to continue after the Civil war and the abolishing of slavery. Black codes were a variety of oppressive laws made from state to state so there were no single set of codes that were across all states but instead tailored to the state specifically. However all were made around the idea to keep the black population still oppressed and forced to still work the plantation fields.
