the black code prevented the blacks from participating in elections and also restricted them from certain works. They were codes that mainly Mississippi used in keeping their inferiority. They wanted to let the blacks know that even after the war, they were still going to be low lives. That's why Thaddeus Stevens, would never be compensated with what Lincoln was doing. He said Lincoln was too merciful. Thaddeus would write the Call for Radical Reconstruction where he states that the blacks had equal rights and where supposed to be treated equally. he also wrote that the emancipated blacks should have right to participate in election and that unlike Lincoln, the southern leaders that promoted slavery should be punished. Though before Lincoln was assassinated, he supported and agreed with Steven's point's, he always said Steven was in no position to lay his ideas on the table or carry it out and that him Lincoln being the president was supposed to be in control. Several laws would be passed on after Lincolns death that would eliminate the black codes. The black codes prevented blacks from getting certain jobs and participating in social activities.
