Certainly! That is what they were designed to do after the Civil War. It restriced the free slaves economic rights, they were not allowed to vote, hold office, serve on a jury or receive a public education.
Answer: The black codes treated blacks very poorly. They were passed on the state and local level mainly in the rural Southern states after the Civil War to regulate the freedom of former slaves. Under the codes, blacks could not bear arms, vote, etc.
no, these laws did extend some civil and legal rights, but the black codes were there to limit the freedom of recently freed slaves.
One of the main ways is limiting the right to vote. The codes required people to pay a poll tax, pass a reading test, and take a test on the constitution.
Things that were part of the black codes included segregation (where blacks and whites couldn't eat at the same table), curfews (blacks can't be out past dark), movement restrictions (blacks can't leave/enter city without permission), employment restrictions (could only work on the plantation you were freed from), and voting restrictions (could vote if you could read, and if your grandfather was not a slave)
The white Americans took blacks from Africa. They put them in a boat nude, and shipped them to America as slaves. They separated the blacks from their family. The slave masters did cruel things to these African slaves. This why African-Americans live in the United States. If the Americans never shipped blacks to America, blacks today would be in Africa. Also, this is why we have racism in America.
The Black Codes were written to control Black people slave as well as free. Whites were not subject to these codes that is why they were named "The Black Codes". **The black codes weren't even created until after slavery was abolished. The black codes were basically created to replace slavery and make Black people in the South subservient again.
no
Congress did not pass the "Black codes" these codes were pass by the states and they were not the same in every state, they were codes to keep slave in there place like thing you would tell your children not to do because if you broke one of the codes you was suggest to get a whipping. Whipping a slave consisted of anywhere from 50 to 500 hundred lashes with a bull whip, the breaking of some "Black Codes", could end in you being hung or burned at the stake. White America was afraid of slave revolt's so they invented the "Black Codes".
Slave codes are laws on slaves and restrictions on what they can and can not do
Well, it's simple as can be. Slaves might have been forbidden to meet with free blacks under the slave codes so they would be able to try to plan escapes.

Slave codes were created to give status of slaves and the rights of masters. Slave owners would have absolute power over theses' slaves if they have these codes.
No, because there were free Blacks and then there were slaves, so they were considered completely different classes. However, even free Blacks weren't treated fairly.
Slave codes prevented slaves from escaping easily, even though some did escape
