The Black Codes were passed to limit the freedoms of freed slaves. African Americans in Mississippi had to have written proof of employment. Anyone without such proof could be put to work on a plantation. African Americans were forbidden to meet in unsupervised groups or carry guns.
The main purpose of the black codes was to regain power over the blacks and use the law to do so.
After the Civil War, various "Black Codes" were enacted in southern states to restrict the rights of freedmen. These laws aimed to control the labor and movements of African Americans, including limiting their ability to own property, work in certain occupations, and vote. The Black Codes were eventually superseded by the Reconstruction Amendments and Civil Rights Act of 1866.
