The Black Codes, enacted in the South after the Civil War, severely restricted the rights and freedoms of newly freed African Americans. This discriminatory legislation inspired Radical Republicans in Congress to draft the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Fourteenth Amendment, both aimed at securing citizenship and equal protection under the law for African Americans. The Radical Republicans sought to counteract the oppressive measures of the Black Codes and promote greater civil rights and social justice during Reconstruction.
