The black codes
The southern laws were called Vagrancy Laws. They were part of the black codes to keep former slaves in a state of enforced servitude.
You may be thinking of the Black Codes, which were passed after the abolition of slavery to suppress the black vote, as well as other rights.Added; Exactly what law you are referring to is unclear. There was also a law in effect during the era of the War Between The States known as The Fugitive Slave Act.
All such codes became null and void with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in 1865, although many southern states adopted "Black Codes" to keep former slaves from voting and imposed other restrictions. These were eliminated with the 14th and 15th Amendments.
Slave codes were used to get slaves to work harder, but painfully. Black codes disallowed black people to own land, guns, and take certain jobs.
