Some of the parts of the black codes were that race was defined by your blood if there was any trace of black blood in you, you were then black.<span> Freedmen were not to be taught to read or write. Public facilities were segregated. <span>Violators of these laws were subject to being whipped or branded.<span> <span>Employment was required of all freedmen; violators faced vagrancy charges. The black laws were laws that blacks had to follow or else they would be punished. Hope this helps!</span><span> </span></span></span></span>
