Freed slaves in the post-Civil War South were subjected to a range of discriminatory laws and practices, known as Black Codes, which aimed to restrict their freedoms and maintain white supremacy. These laws often enforced labor contracts, limited movement, and imposed harsh penalties for minor offenses, effectively perpetuating a system of economic dependency and social control. Additionally, the rise of violence from groups like the Ku Klux Klan further threatened their safety and rights, undermining the progress made during Reconstruction. Despite the legal end of slavery, many freed individuals faced significant obstacles to true freedom and equality.
