Detailed explanation-1: -After slavery, state governments across the South instituted laws known as Black Codes. These laws granted certain legal rights to blacks, including the right to marry, own property, and sue in court, but the Codes also made it illegal for blacks to serve on juries, testify against whites, or serve in state militias.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fate of African Americans was gradually turned over to individual states, many of which adopted restrictive ‘Jim Crow’ laws that enforced segregation based on race and imposed measures aimed at keeping African Americans from voting booths.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why was it difficult for southern free blacks to gain economic independence after the Civil War? Southern blacks emerged from slavery with no money to begin their new lives, so they had to rely on the crop-lien and sharecropping systems.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some black Southerners aided the Confederacy. Most of these were forced to accompany their masters or were forced to toil behind the lines. Black men were not legally allowed to serve as combat soldiers in the Confederate Army–they were cooks, teamsters, and manual laborers.
