  4. 1.)Black Codes was a name given to laws passed by southern governments established during the presidency of Andrew Johnson. These laws imposed severe restrictions on freed slaves such as prohibiting their right to vote, forbidding them to sit on juries, limiting their right to testify against white men, carrying weapons in public places and working in certain places.
    2.)Now before there was no need to separate whites and blacks because 95% of blacks were slaves. But they were separated at schools, theaters, taverns, and other public places. So, Congress quickly responded to these laws in 1866 and seized the initiative in remaking the south. Republicans wanted to ensure that with the remaking the south, freed blacks were made viable members of society. But the strong southern legislatures finally gave in; in 1868 they repealed most of the laws that discriminated against blacks.

  9. 1.) Black codes were basically laws passed by Southern governments that limited the freedom of the so called free slaves. They were forced to do hard labor so it wasnt much better than slavery. Many northern republicans began to question why they even went to war.

    2.)Some of them moved to the North of the midwest where they had more freedom. Most stayed and built schools, strenghted churches and formed mutual aid societies. also they used their speechs to motivate each other.

  10. 1.) The first set of black codes were designed to restrict the freedom of the emancipated blacks. They were in the South and they separated the blacks from the whites by giving the black's less liberties.

    2.)Some moved from the South over to the Midwest, or to the more northern states. They used their right of speech to fight for themselves and they also sued the Surpreme Court.

  15. 1.)Black Codes were laws that restricted the freedom of blacks. They said blacks could not vote, serve on a jury, have land, or carry a firearm without a license. Blacks could be fined for small things such as begging or being drunk. If they couldn't pay the fine they were forced to work on a chain gang.
    2.)African Americans built their own institutions, adopted several approaches to fighting discrimination, and also left the South and moved to the Midwest or northern cities.
