<span>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. Though the Union victory had given some 4 million slaves their freedom, the question of freed blacks’ status in the postwar South was still very much unresolved. Under black codes, many states required blacks to sign yearly labor contracts; if they refused, they risked being arrested, fined and forced into unpaid labor. Outrage over black codes helped undermine support for President Andrew Johnson and the Republican Party.</span>

Why was indonesia so poor when it gained its independence from the dutch in 1949?

seraphim [82]

Even though Indonesia gained its independence from the Dutch, the country was still poor because Dutch used this country for crops and gave little investments to transportation, education, and health. With this fact, the economy of this country in that time was still progressing.
