The Black Codes were laws passed in the southern United States after the Civil War to restrict the rights of newly freed African Americans. To answer your question, we need to analyze the options based on what the Black Codes typically included.
- Land restrictions: Yes, many Black Codes included provisions that restricted land ownership for Black individuals.
- Limits on women's rights: Black Codes primarily focused on racial issues and employment, although they did implicitly affect women; they weren't specifically about women's rights in a general sense.
- Curfews: Yes, curfews were often part of the Black Codes.
- Vagrancy laws: Yes, these laws were a significant aspect of the Black Codes.
Considering the options given, b) limits on women's rights is the option that is not typically associated with the Black Codes as distinctly as the others. Therefore, the answer is:
b) limits on women's rights.
