1) Black codes were laws designed to restrict the freedom of blacks. They helped guarantee the south had a steady labor supply for the blacks. Some said blacks couldn't serve on a jury, couldn't vote. They had strict labor provisionss, each year they had to sign a labor contract, if they broke the contract they could be severely punished.
ReplyDelete2)African Americans sued for equal treatment under the Civil Rights Act of 1875. They also left the South and moved to northern cities or the Midwest. Some started their own businesses, built schools and strengthened churches.
well of cource the video is about the african american and that the south didnt wanted to change the power or life style and the blacks code says that the blacks cant do anything or if they do it they will be fined or be sent to a chain gane. so what im trying to throw down here is that the blacks didnt have alot of rights back in the days after the war
ReplyDelete1.) the black codes were limiting the blacks to certain rights.
ReplyDelete2.)Confronted by segregation and denied basic political and civil rights, some African Americans left the South for the Midwest or moved to nothern cities. Most,however, stayed in the south, where their ancestors had lived for generations. To improve their lives, African Americans formed muturl aid societies, started buisinesses, stengthened churches, and build schools.
1- They were designed to restrict the freedom of blacks. These laws would help guarentee a steady labor suply for southern planters. They aslo said that blacks could not serve on a jury, vote, rent or lease land, and couldn't carry a firearm unless they had a liscense.
ReplyDelete2- African Americans built their own institutions, and they adopted several approaches to fighting discrimination.
Black Codes were laws for African Americans like they couldnt hold meatings unless whites were present. they could not travel with out permits or guns.In New Orleans they couldnt be out after 10:00, just one hour later than the previous slave cerfew.But because whites were desperate to make former slaves return to feirld work, some codes required freedpeople to sign a labor contract.
ReplyDelete1. Because of it some African Americans left the south for the midwest ofr moved to northern cities.
2. They formed mutual aid societies, started businesses, strengthened churches, and built schools.

many blacks did not agree with washinton's posistion. they argued instead that blacks should protest unfair treatment.
