What Were the Black Codes After the Civil War? | The Civil War Nerds

Описание: What Were the Black Codes After the Civil War? In this informative video, we will take a closer look at the Black Codes that emerged in the aftermath of the American Civil War. These laws played a significant role in shaping the lives of newly freed African Americans and were aimed at restricting their freedoms. We will discuss the various aspects of the Black Codes, including vagrancy laws, apprentice laws, and limitations on civil rights. You’ll learn how these codes sought to maintain a system of control and cheap labor, echoing the oppressive structures of slavery.

We will also cover the societal reactions to the Black Codes, particularly from Northern states and the Radical Republican Congress, who viewed these laws as an attempt to undermine the progress made by the 13th Amendment. The video will highlight the brutal enforcement of these codes and the violent atmosphere that surrounded them, including the role of groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Join us as we unpack this critical chapter in American history and discuss its lasting implications on the struggle for equality and justice in the United States.
