What is the Mississippi Black Code 1865?
Mississippi's Black Codes are laws enacted by fearful white southerners after the emancipation due to the civil war. There are many of them, but basically they were designed to control 'black' labor, mobility and social status. So while according to the nation 'blacks' were free, these southern laws enabled farmers, and business owners to still control their former slaves. The codes themselves are easy to find if you simply bing or google your same question.
