1724 Christian Black (Noire) Codes of Louisiana

The Christian Black Codes of 1724  

Black codes were laws that restricted the freedom and movement of Black people and forced them to 
work for low wages. Though they existed before the Civil War throughout the U.S., most of these laws 
were passed in the South from 1865–1866. Below are some examples of Black codes from one state.  
As you review them, note what freedoms each law was trying to limit or take away.
