Explanation:

Black Codes were enacted in the Southern states after the Civil War. The Reconstruction Amendments (13th, 14th, 15th) aimed to grant rights to African Americans, but Black Codes were created to restrict their rights and enforce racial segregation. The options "to give African Americans jobs" and "to make African Americans rich" are incorrect as Black Codes were not for the benefit of African Americans. The correct reason is to segregate them.

Answer:

to segregate African Americans
