"Jim Crow"
The Black Codes were laws designed to restrict the rights of freed slaves in the United States after the Civil War. These laws aimed to control the labor and behavior of former slaves, limiting their movement, job opportunities, and civil rights, effectively creating a system of legal discrimination and segregation.
In the United States, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 granted citizenship to African-born freed slaves. This legislation was an important step towards ensuring equal rights and protections for all individuals regardless of their race or nationality.
Slaves were not paid for their work; they were forced to work without compensation. They had minimal to no rights and were treated as property by their owners, lacking autonomy over their own lives and often facing harsh and inhumane conditions.
Slave Codes were laws enacted in various Southern states that restricted the behavior of slaves and denied them basic rights such as the right to assemble, own property, or marry without their owner's permission. These codes were designed to maintain control and ensure the continued subjugation of slaves within the institution of slavery.
Some northern states used personal liberty laws to nullify the figitive slave Act, written to help the south.
Laws that governed slaves varied by time and place, but common restrictions included limits on their movement, prohibitions on literacy and education, and denial of basic human rights such as the ability to marry freely or hold property. Slaves were considered property rather than individuals with legal rights, and laws were designed to maintain their servitude and prevent rebellion.
In West African cultures, slaves were allowed to own slaves of their own, while those in the Atlantic slave trade were not.

White men always have had rights from the very moment of the colonies. There was never any need to "grant" them rights. Fifty five rich white men wrote the constitution and slaves built the nation.

It depends on what you mean by their rights. The only rights a slave had was to have a new tunic every year and a new cloak and shoes every two years, and the right to freedom if their master turned them out because they were old or infirm. However, slaves could also buy their freedom, or have it granted to them, if this is what you mean by a "right".It depends on what you mean by their rights.
