Black Codes were laws enacted in the southern United States after the Civil War that aimed to restrict the rights and freedoms of African Americans. These codes often required Black individuals to sign labor contracts, which tied them to low-paying jobs and subjected them to harsh working conditions. Furthermore, the codes imposed penalties for unemployment and vagrancy, effectively forcing many African Americans into exploitative labor arrangements. Overall, Black Codes significantly limited economic opportunities and perpetuated a cycle of poverty and disenfranchisement for African Americans in the South.
