Black codes were laws enacted in the Southern states after the Civil War to restrict the rights and freedoms of newly freed African Americans. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, aimed to provide citizenship and equal protection under the law to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves. The existence of black codes highlighted the resistance to the 14th Amendment's principles, as they sought to undermine its intent by enforcing racial discrimination and limiting civil rights. Ultimately, the 14th Amendment was a response to such oppressive laws, seeking to establish a constitutional guarantee of equality.
The 14th amendment was nessacary because even though the 13th abolished slavery southerns were still stopping black people from voting so the 14th punished anyone that stopped them from voting. :)

The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, aimed to address the discriminatory practices of the black codes by granting citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former enslaved individuals. It also ensured that states could not deny any person equal protection under the law or deprive them of life, liberty, or property without due process. This amendment sought to establish a legal foundation for civil rights and aimed to counteract the restrictive laws that sought to limit the rights of African Americans in the post-Civil War era.

Wade-Davis Bill - Freedmen's Bureau
Black Codes were laws enacted in the Southern states after the Civil War aimed at restricting the rights and freedoms of African Americans. These codes violated the 14th Amendment, which guarantees equal protection under the law and prohibits states from denying any person the privileges or immunities of citizenship. By enforcing discriminatory practices such as limiting employment opportunities, restricting movement, and curtailing voting rights, Black Codes undermined the constitutional protections intended to ensure equality for all citizens.
The Black Codes were laws enacted in the Southern United States after the Civil War, primarily during the Reconstruction era, to restrict the freedom of African Americans and maintain white supremacy. These codes were not directly tied to a specific amendment but were a reaction to the passage of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. The 14th and 15th Amendments aimed to grant citizenship and voting rights to African Americans, respectively, leading to further resistance and the implementation of Black Codes to circumvent these legal protections.
All such codes became null and void with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in 1865, although many southern states adopted "Black Codes" to keep former slaves from voting and imposed other restrictions. These were eliminated with the 14th and 15th Amendments.
