He said Lincoln was too merciful. Thaddeus would write the Call for Radical Reconstruction where he states that the blacks had equal rights and where supposed to be treated equally. he also wrote that the emancipated blacks should have right to participate in election and that unlike Lincoln, the southern leaders that promoted slavery should be punished. Though before Lincoln was assassinated, he supported and agreed with Steven's point's, he always said Steven was in no position to lay his ideas on the table or carry it out and that him Lincoln being the president was supposed to be in control. Several laws would be passed on after Lincolns death that would eliminate the black codes. The black codes prevented blacks from getting certain jobs and participating in social activities.

black codes, in U.S. history, series of statutes passed by the ex-Confederate states, 1865-66, dealing with the status of the newly freed slaves. They varied greatly from state to state as to their harshness and restrictiveness. Although the codes granted certain basic civil rights to blacks (the right to marry, to own personal property, and to sue in court), they also provided for the segregation of public facilities and placed severe restrictions on the freedman's status as a free laborer, his right to own real estate, and his right to testify in court. Although some Northern states had black codes before the Civil War, this did not prevent many northerners from interpreting the codes as an attempt by the South to reenslave blacks. The Freedmen's Bureau prevented enforcement of the codes, which were later repealed by the radical Republican state governments.

Young person your question is not a complete sentence and your names or not spelled correctly. But I will answer your question. The two people you are asking about are W.E.B. Dubious and Booker T. Washington. Booker T. Washington want Black to learn a trade and become a asset to white America, in other words white would have to come to us to get things repair are fix or built and later we would apply for equality in other area like schools in eating together and government position. W.E.B.

What did the congress pass to outlaw the black codes?

Andrew Johnson was president at this point in the Reconstruction, and he allowed things like this to go on because he was a southerner himself, but once congress came back from recess, they impeached him. This was partly because of the Black Codes and partly because of his lienient rules for CSA states to be re- admitted to the union. Congress then passed the 14th and 15th amendments, the Reconstruction act (every state except tenessee in the CSA was to be occupied with troops) and the enforcement acts (made black terrorist groups unconstitiutional). So i guess you could say that congress basically impeached Johnson and passed all these acts and amendments as a response to the Black codes. I hope this answers your question!!
