The black codes were a set of regulation for freedmen. They restricted their economic rights, they couldn't vote, they couldn't hold office or serve on a jury and they could not receive a public education.
These Black Codes were enacted by restored white governments in the South. These laws were harsh and severely restricted Black citizens. Examples were laws that required Blacks to be given a permit in order to take employment in other than field work or domestic services.
