What was the primary purpose of Southern implementation of Black Codes? a)to authorize the use of force to implement the Thirteenth Amendment b)to create standard alphabet and language for blacks to begin schooling c)to ensure that blacks would remain landless and subservient d)to repeal the Emancipation Proclamation after the Civil War

Sagot :

Even though after the civil war slaves were technically free men, the south implemented the Black Codes to keep them in a system very similar to slavery. The 13th amendment gave blacks the right as an American citizen. The south did not want blacks to get schooling or education, because that would give them self worth and encourage them to rebel. The Black Codes were not there to repeal the Emancipation proclamation.  The primary purpose of the southern implementation of Black Codes was to c) ensure that blacks would remain landless and subservient. 

Answer: C to ensure blacks would remain landless and subservient

Explanation:

The south did this to make sure that the blacks would have lower wages and make sure that they wouldn’t become free. Plus I just took the test lol:)
