What did the Black Codes do to the blacks?

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'


What did the Black Codes include?

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)


Before the civil war where could free blacks vote?

Before the Civil War, free blacks could vote in a few Northern states, such as Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania, where laws allowed for limited suffrage for free African American men. However, many states imposed strict requirements, such as property ownership or tax payments, which effectively disenfranchised many free blacks. In the South, free blacks were largely denied the right to vote altogether. The voting rights of free blacks varied significantly across different states and regions.

Republicans tried to help freedmen lots of times during reconstruction. One way they tried to help the freedmen was by creating the Freedman’s Bureau. The Freedman’s Bureau helped African Americans by making schools for them, giving them homes and protecting them. Another way they helped them was by sending troops there so the blacks could vote and the southerners that wanted to kill blacks were not allowed to do anything that could hurt the blacks in public.
