Black Codes (United States)
- Hook1... that Mississippi prohibited black and white Americans from assembling "on terms of equality"?
- Reviewed: Several pending, including Purple Toupee.
- Comment: There have been a lot of submissions from around this time period recently, and it would be fine to delay this hook if people feel they ought to be spaced out more. Alternatives:
- Hook2 ... that Kentucky's 1866 black code outlawed "rambling without a job" and "keeping a disorderly house" as examples of vagrancy?
- Hook3 ... that according to an observer from the Freedmen's Bureau, Louisiana recycled its old laws in 1865, "with the word 'slave' expunged, and 'Negro' substituted"?
