President Andrew Johnson was blamed for the passing of the Black Codes because his lenient approach to Reconstruction allowed Southern states to enact these discriminatory laws. Johnson's policies prioritized quick reintegration of the South without sufficient protections for newly freed African Americans, effectively enabling Southern legislatures to maintain white supremacy. His failure to support civil rights legislation further contributed to the implementation of the Black Codes, which restricted the freedoms of Black individuals and perpetuated systemic racism.
