The Black Codes
Selling a Freeman to Pay His Fine at Monticello, Florida
This 1867 drawing from a northern magazine equates the black codes with the reinstitution of slavery. The laws stopped short of re-enslavement, but they did sharply restrict blacks’ freedom. In Florida, as in other southern states, certain acts, such as breaking a labor contract, were made criminal offenses, the penalty for which could be involuntary plantation labor for a year.
