Best Answer

The black codes denied rights by allowing local officials to arrest and fine unemployed African Americans and then make them work for white employers to pay off their fines. Other black codes banned African Americans from owning or renting farms. One black code allowed whites to take orphaned African American children as "unpaid apprentices". To freed men and women and many Northerners, the black codes reestablished slavery in disguise.
