Black Codes were laws enacted in the southern United States during Reconstruction to restrict the rights and freedoms of African Americans. Their primary purpose was to maintain white supremacy and control over the newly freed Black population by limiting their mobility, employment opportunities, and civil rights. These codes aimed to ensure a labor force that resembled the conditions of slavery, effectively undermining the economic and social gains made by African Americans after the Civil War.

Their primary aim was to maintain white supremacy and control over the Black population by enforcing labor contracts, limiting mobility, and prohibiting certain activities. These codes effectively sought to recreate a racially discriminatory social order, undermining the advancements in civil rights that had been achieved during Reconstruction. Ultimately, they laid the groundwork for systemic racism and segregation that persisted for decades.
