Why were black codes passed and how did freedman and northerners react to them?

Black codes were passed in the Southern states after the Civil War to restrict the rights and freedoms of newly freed African Americans, aiming to maintain white supremacy and control over the labor force. Freedmen reacted with resistance, seeking legal protections and civil rights, while many Northerners were outraged by these laws, viewing them as a betrayal of the Union's efforts to secure freedom and equality. This backlash contributed to the rise of the Reconstruction era, where federal efforts aimed to dismantle the black codes and promote civil rights.
