<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>As the Civil War came to a close, southern states began to pass a series of discriminatory state laws collectively known as black codes. While the laws varied in both content and severity from state to state—some laws actually granted freed people the right to marry or testify in court— these codes were designed to maintain the social and economic structure of racial slavery in the absence of the “peculiar institution.” The laws codified white supremacy by restricting the civic participation of freed people; the codes deprived them of the right to vote, the right to serve on juries, the right to own or carry weapons, and, in some cases, even the right to rent or lease land.</h2><h2>Slavery had been a pillar of economic stability in the region before the war; now, black codes ensured the same stability by recreating the antebellum economic structure under the façade of a free-labor system. Adhering to new “apprenticeship” laws determined within the black codes, judges bound many young African American orphans to white plantation owners who would then force them to work. Adult freedmen were forced to sign contracts with their employers—who were oftentimes their previous owners. These contracts prevented African Americans from working for more than one employer, and therefore, from positively influencing the very low wages or poor working conditions they received.</h2><h2>Any former slaves that attempted to violate or evade these contracts were fined, beaten, or arrested for vagrancy. Upon arrest, many “free” African Americans were made to work for no wages, essentially being reduced to the very definition of a slave. Although slavery had been outlawed by the Thirteenth Amendment, it effectively continued in many southern states..!!</h2>

Is Jay Gatsby true to his identity​
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

His real name is James Gatz and he came from a no-name family in North Dakota. This is something he is quite ashamed of and so he creates a new identity for himself. Although he does gain wealth, he will never be like Tom and Daisy who were raised in that world. This is demonstrated through the extravagant car he drives and his attempt at imitating the lavish life he desires. It's absolute phony and characters see through this charade. He also tries so hard to relive the past that he abandons his current self. Gatsby truly lives in a fantasy world and thus, cannot be true to his identity.
