The correct answer is **Black Codes**.
Black Codes were laws passed in the Southern United States after the Civil War aimed at restricting the freedoms of African Americans and ensuring their availability as cheap labor. These codes effectively kept many freed slaves in a state of economic dependency and regulated their labor, which was a way to maintain a system similar to slavery.
