Black codes were restrictive laws designed to limit the freedom of African Americans and ensure their availability as a cheap labor force after slavery was abolished during the Civil War. Under black codes, many states required Black people to sign yearly labor contracts; if they refused, they risked being arrested, fined and forced into unpaid labor.
Even as former enslaved people fought to assert their independence and gain economic autonomy during the earliest years of Reconstruction. While the codes granted certain freedoms to African Americans—including the right to buy and own property, marry, make contracts and testify in court (only in cases involving people of their own race)—their primary purpose was to restrict Black peoples’ labor and activity. Black people who broke labor contracts were subject to arrest, beating and forced labor, and apprenticeship laws forced many minors into unpaid labor for white planters.

Explanation:
The underlying cause of the Cold War was conflicting ideologies.
The Cold War refers to a period after World War II up until the early 1990's in which the United States and Soviet Union were in constant conflict. It is referred to as a "cold" war because there was no physical fighting directly between the US and Soviet Union. One of the biggest causes of the Cold War was conflicting ideologies.
