Black codes? who passed the black codes? i want to say that it's wealthy white planters, but i'm not sure. |
I just checked wiki and it seems to have been mostly Southerners after the US Civil War.

How do you think the north felt about black codes? In 1865, Southerners created Black Codes, which served as a way to inhibit the freedom of ex-slaves. Codes controlled almost all aspects of life and prohibited African Americans from the freedom that had been won. |
| I think generally with disdain but most of the north was discriminate too for the most part. |
Some Northerners charged that the black codes were a backdoor attempt at reestablishing slavery. Do you agree? Some Northerners charged that the black codes were a backdoor attempt at reestablishing slavery. Do you agree? (MISSISSIPPI’S 1865 BLACK CODES) |
No, not quite an attempt at slavery, but at something very, very close to it. The black codes, in some states...I'm not sure of Mississippi's, I'd have to look them up....did establish a system that was akin to indentured servitude. In some eyes, that is seen as another type of slavery.
Either way, the codes were a way to keep the freed slaves dependent on the white population for their survival and gave them little or no recourse to redress wrongs through the established justice system. Not far from where they ended, a step only from slavery. Legal, but bound. |
How did black codes effect reconstruction? I need to write a history essay, but I don't understand how the Black Codes affected (negatively) reconstruction. Please help me with anything? Thanks :) |
The black codes enacted immediately after the American Civil War, though varying from state to state, were all intended to secure a steady supply of cheap labor, and all continued to assume the inferiority of the freed slaves. There were vagrancy laws that declared a black to be vagrant if unemployed and without permanent residence; a person so defined could be arrested, fined, and bound out for a term of labor if unable to pay the fine. Apprentice laws provided for the "hiring out" of orphans and other young dependents to whites, which often turned out to be their former owners. Some states limited the type of property blacks could own, and in others blacks were excluded from certain businesses or from the skilled trades. Former slaves were forbidden to carry firearms or to testify in court, except in cases concerning other blacks. Legal marriage between blacks was provided for, but interracial marriage was prohibited.
It was Northern reaction to the black codes (as well as to the bloody antiblack riots in Memphis and New Orleans in 1866; see New Orleans Race Riot) that helped produce Radical Reconstruction (see Reconstruction) and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. The Freedmen's Bureau was created in 1865 to help the former slaves. Reconstruction did away with the black codes, but, after Reconstruction was over, many of their provisions were reenacted in the Jim Crow laws, which were not finally done away with until passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. |
What States in the Usa enforced Black codes in 1865? what states in the south introduced black codes ? was it all of them ? |
| Mississippi and South Carolina tried it, however, they never came into effect. Texas voted in a black code in 1866 giving blacks rights to be represented in court, make contracts and attend separate black schools. |
Effect of black codes on the Southern African Americans? what was the effect of the "Black Codes" on the Southern African-Americans? |

Action Replay for DS Lite and Pokemon Black Codes? I know I'm probably the millionth person to ask these questions, but I am planning on buying an action replay device for my Nintendo DS Lite. Which one do you recommend most? Is there a code to increase the likelihood of encountering shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Black? (I don't want all of my Pokemon to turn shiny, or to only be able to catch shiny Pokemon.) If so, could someone please list the American code? Thank you! |
| Look up Pokesav. It is an Action Replay archive of almost anything for pokemon. I am not sure if they have released a Black and White version though |
How were the Black codes in conflict with the Constitution? [Please give reference to Amendment numbers]? Any help will be appreciated, but please only reply if you know what you're talking about.
Obviously, the codes completely ignored the social justice and all men are created equal parts, but I don't know what Amendments to refer to. |
Marcus's answer contains a major clue -- it is the 14th amendment that opposes the "black codes". But these codes did NOT "ignore" it.
Quite the opposite -- the codes came FIRST; and the 14th amendment, which guaranteed CITIZENSHIP and all its rights to blacks, was specifically passed to COUNTER the slave codes, along with the remnants of the Dred Scott decision (which had begun by declaring that NO black could be a citizen of the United States, and no attendant federal rights, e.g., the right to sue in federal court.)
(A bit more detail -- the 13th amendment, which legally ended SLAVERY, was in the process of ratification when the war ended and Lincoln was assassinated. One of the requirements Andrew Johnson held to for Southern states wanted to be 'readmitted' to full rights as states was that they pass the 13th amendment. But he made it clear that these states could restrict black RIGHTS in almost any way they wished. This encouraged them to pass the onerous "black codes" in the last half of 1865, even before the 13th amendment was passed. Congressional Republicans --NOT just "Radicals" but moderates and even conservative -- reacted to Johnson's with new legislation to try to PROTECT the rights of blacks... finally including the 14th amendment.
They later added the 15th [the right to vote], which did not specifically address the black codes, but provided a means [the vote] for blacks to protect their OWN rights.) |
How were the Black Codes similar/different to slavery? And also, why did african americans tolerate these codes for so long? |
| The black codes originated in the secret doctrines of Ibrahim Al-Likun also known as Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was born in Bagdad and secretly brought to the US by the Muslim Brothership, an antecendt organization to Al Quaeda. He was passed off as an American tho you can see in his face this deep Arab features. The Arabs wanted to dominate America and managed to do this largely. The black codes were their attempt to manage US racial policy so as to favor the propagation of the secret Arab immigration to the US which by 1900 had already reached 35% of the US population. |
What were the good about the black codes? I'm making a 2 paragraph on about why the bad about the black codes and the good bout the black codes. I know the black codes are bad but my teacher said to make it sarcastic about the black codes to be good. |
Wow, your teacher wants you to live dangerously! He/she is telling you to say good things about a racist institution. I hope you are good at making it obvious that it's sarcasm, just in case someone else reads this thing you're writing.
There's a book called "America (the book)". It's a parody of a high school American History textbook. It has plenty of this exact kind of parody/sarcasm, and very cleverly written too. You might find it at a local library or book store.
Otherwise, you could joke about the Black Codes preventing the nuisance of the South actually having to treat blacks as people.
Or refer to it as the first step in America's long journey to keep free black people segregated. |
