1 answer

The correct answer is black codes.

Black codes were a series of laws enacted by Southern states immediately after the Civil War that restricted the rights and freedoms of newly freed African Americans. These laws aimed to maintain the social structure of slavery by placing severe limitations on their mobility, employment opportunities, and access to education and voting rights. Black codes were widely seen as an attempt to recreate the system of slavery in a slightly different form.
