The black codes were regulations that were created for freedmen (slaves that were freed) after the Civil War. They restricted their economic rights, they weren't allowed to vote, hold office, serve on a jury or receive a public education.

Black codes were laws that limited the rights of former slaves after the Civil War. They were important in unifying the freed African American slaves in their stand against the abolition of these laws.

"They" made the black codes because "they" still wanted slavery. so they made black codes in several states to restrict free slaves from many natural rights. basically the 14th amendment was for nothing until black codes ended.
