Yes, Ohio did have black codes, which were laws enacted in the 19th century to restrict the rights and freedoms of African Americans. After the Civil War, these codes aimed to control the movement and labor of Black individuals, imposing restrictions on employment and requiring them to have labor contracts. Although Ohio was a free state, the black codes reflected the racial discrimination and societal attitudes of the time. Over time, these laws were challenged and eventually repealed as civil rights movements gained momentum.
