The Mississippi Black Code of 1865 imposed strict regulations on the movement of ex-slaves by requiring them to obtain permits to travel and restricting their ability to reside in certain areas. It mandated that freedmen could only work in specific jobs, often tied to their former owners, and imposed severe penalties for vagrancy. These laws effectively curtailed their freedom of movement, reinforcing a system of control and limiting economic opportunities for African Americans in the post-Civil War South.
