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".
