Question

Which was a common restriction included in the black codes?

Answer 1

Former slaves could not sue in court

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "Former slaves could not sue in court".

Explanation:

Black codes were laws passed by Southern States in 1865 and 1866, states known for his discriminatory behavior during that time. These codes were established as an attempt to suppress the freedom of the recently emancipated African-American slaves. A common restriction included in the black codes was that these emancipated African-American slaves could not sue in court. Therefore in Southern States, the right to sue in court remained as a privilege that only white men could exercise.
