By the time the Black Codes were established. Many northerners saw the Black Codes as a covert way to reestablish slavery. Several members of the Freedmen's Bureau spoke out, calling the laws invalid. However, the North had grown weary of Reconstruction. Thoughts had turned to industrialization and making money. Thus, southern states were able to continue to discriminate against blacks with the codes without fear of retribution.
