Question

the black codes were significant because they: (standard ushc.2.cx) (dok 2)
enforced universal suffrage.
restricted the rights of newly freed african americans.
protected african americans natural rights.
expanded citizenship to women.

Explanation:

The Black Codes were laws passed in the Southern United States after the Civil War. Their main purpose was to restrict the rights of newly - freed African Americans. They aimed to maintain a system similar to slavery in many ways, such as limiting employment options, movement, and property rights for African Americans. Universal suffrage (voting rights for all) was not enforced by the Black Codes. In fact, they were a tool of oppression. They did not protect African Americans' natural rights; instead, they violated them. And they had nothing to do with expanding citizenship to women.

Answer:

Restricted the rights of newly freed African Americans.
