Question

true or false states worked around the reconstruction admendments by implementing black codes

Answer 1

True. After the American Civil War, many Southern states implemented black codes, which were laws that restricted the rights and freedoms of newly freed African Americans. These codes were a way to undermine the objectives of the Reconstruction Amendments (13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments) that sought to grant equal rights and protection to all citizens, including African Americans.
