Want this question answered?
black codes, in U.S. history, series of statutes passed by the ex-Confederate states, 1865-66, dealing with the status of the newly freed slaves. They varied greatly from state to state as to their harshness and restrictiveness. Although the codes granted certain basic civil rights to blacks (the right to marry, to own personal property, and to sue in court), they also provided for the segregation of public facilities and placed severe restrictions on the freedman's status as a free laborer, his right to own real estate, and his right to testify in court. Although some Northern states had black codes before the Civil War, this did not prevent many northerners from interpreting the codes as an attempt by the South to reenslave blacks. The Freedmen's Bureau prevented enforcement of the codes, which were later repealed by the radical Republican state governments.
By the time the Black Codes were established. Many northerners saw the Black Codes as a covert way to reestablish slavery. Several members of the Freedmen's Bureau spoke out, calling the laws invalid. However, the North had grown weary of Reconstruction. Thoughts had turned to industrialization and making money. Thus, southern states were able to continue to discriminate against blacks with the codes without fear of retribution.

Andrew Johnson was president at this point in the Reconstruction, and he allowed things like this to go on because he was a southerner himself, but once congress came back from recess, they impeached him. This was partly because of the Black Codes and partly because of his lienient rules for CSA states to be re- admitted to the union. Congress then passed the 14th and 15th amendments, the Reconstruction act (every state except tenessee in the CSA was to be occupied with troops) and the enforcement acts (made black terrorist groups unconstitiutional). So i guess you could say that congress basically impeached Johnson and passed all these acts and amendments as a response to the Black codes. I hope this answers your question!!
