Black Codes and Pig Laws

After the end of the Civil War, southern countries instituted a "black code" that allows African Americans to enjoy certain rights such as legal marriage, ownership of property, entry restrictions on courts, I took away the right to testify against me. Let's vote or start a job without approval of former employer, jury, or state militia. These codes were completely abolished in 1866 at the beginning of the reconstruction.

However, after the failure of the rebuilding in 1877 and the withdrawal of a black man from a political standpoint, the southern states redefined a set of laws designed to limit the lives of African Americans. Strict contract law punishes those who are going to leave before canceling work in advance. "Pig law" unjustly punishes poor African-American as stolen livestock and other crimes. Wandering regulations make unemployment a crime. Many derogatory or minor offenses are considered felony, severe and fine

Pig law has existed for decades and if the Jim Raven era begins it will be expanded by a more discriminatory law.

"Black Code" is the law passed by South in response to the release. Their purpose is to criminalize and control newly released blacks (Alexander, 2010). W. E. B. Dubois's ruthless attack on these codes is no less a new slavery (1910). Cohen (1991) noted that "the main purpose of the code is to rule free people" (p. 28) is a criminal act of blacks and unemployment. Ethics rules further prohibit blacks from occupations other than farmers or employees, unless they can pay high annual taxes. If blacks often breach economic and social repressive contracts signed with white people, the legislation established at that time allows for strikes, imprisonment and unpaid labor (Alexander, 2010; Paige & Witty, 1996). If newly acquired black families lack economic competence, their children may be taken to an unpaid apprentice in the white business. "Pig law" is aimed at stealing livestock worth over $ 10

The southern province began trying to end the black ballot. By 1910, all Southern states excluded blacks from the vote. In the 1890s, the southern states announced a new format black code called the "Jim Crow" law. These laws stipulate that it is illegal for blacks and whites to share public facilities. This means that blacks and whites must use independent schools, hospitals, libraries, restaurants, hotels, bathrooms and water supplies. These laws continued until the 1950s and 1960s when the civil rights movement started a comprehensive campaign against them. After all, the US Supreme Court declared these laws unconstitutional, and the Congress passed the civil rights law to ensure equal rights of all citizens.
