How do these laws help you understand what life was like in Louisiana and other Southern state after the Civil War?

Louisiana, like most southern states, seems really angry about losing the civil War. The war was mainly fought over the right to own slaves. Once they were free, owners didn't know what to do with their lives anymore. These laws were made so that they could keep Free African Americans oppressed while still following the laws of the federal government. The hate for people of color actually increased after the war since they could no longer fully own them as property. The laws actually acted like a sign to free slaves saying "You will never be free".
