The Southern code during the slavery era, often referred to as the "Southern code of honor," emphasized values such as loyalty, respect, and social hierarchy, particularly among white males. It reinforced the notion of white supremacy and justified the institution of slavery as a natural social order. This code dictated that defending one's honor, often through violence, was paramount, and it perpetuated a rigid class system while dehumanizing enslaved individuals. Ultimately, it served to maintain both social order and the economic interests tied to slavery in the South.
