Correct answer: To restrict the rights of newly freed African Americans.

Explanation: Black Codes were laws passed after the Civil War to limit the freedom, economic opportunities, and civil rights of formerly enslaved people and to maintain a labor force similar to slavery. They did not abolish slavery, encourage voting, or grant equal rights.
