The Southern black codes most restricted the rights of freed slaves. However, a few things they allowed were the rights to own property, make contracts, keep the money they earned, use the legal system, and have protection under the law.
The new black codes were put into place to further inhibit the rights of black people. The five things that blacks were not allowed to do include vote, marry outside of their race, serve in courts, travel freely, or bear arms.
Slavery allowed the South to enter into the new industrialized economies of the nineteenth century.
The Black Codes limited the freedoms of African-Americans, and that wasn't fair. The Black Codes pretty much segregated the African Americans from the Whites.
The main purpose of the black codes was to regain power over the blacks and use the law to do so.
Things that were part of the black codes included segregation (where blacks and whites couldn't eat at the same table), curfews (blacks can't be out past dark), movement restrictions (blacks can't leave/enter city without permission), employment restrictions (could only work on the plantation you were freed from), and voting restrictions (could vote if you could read, and if your grandfather was not a slave)

"blacks" "african americans" "freed-men and women" were not allowed to quit their jobs.
During reconstruction, there were laws passed as black codes. I am doing a political cartoon on black codes. According to what I read, they were not allowed to vote, have the same recreation as whites, they were not treated the same in means of transportation. The black codes rained down on these freedmen, stopping them to do what they wanted. Also, any jobs never had the same pay for African Americans.

Black codes.
Black codes were codes made during Reconstruction after the Civil war, they were made to control blacks after they were emancipated. They were not actual Laws, but like a code of conduct in the south. They basically included that blacks had to be in service of a white person, that they could not have congregations together, that they could not speak out, and that they could not have weapons. They also included that blacks could not go out without a white 'supervisor'
