Question

in texas, only white people were allowed to serve on juries, hold office, or vote. black people could be fined by the government for disobeying the orders of their employer, no matter what time of day. based on the above list, what effects did the black codes have? select all that apply. they granted black people the same rights and privileges that white people had. they kept freed people in the same jobs they were forced to do under slavery. they limited the social equality of freed people in everyday life and personal relationships. they prevented freed people from fully and equally participating in government.

Explanation:

The Black Codes were post-Civil War laws that restricted the rights of freed Black people. The text notes Black people couldn't testify against whites, serve on juries, hold office, vote, faced fines for disobeying employers, etc. This means:

1. They did NOT grant equal rights to Black people.
2. They forced freed people into exploitative, slavery-like labor (following employer orders regardless of time).
3. They limited social equality (barring testimony against whites, unequal legal standing).
4. They blocked equal government participation (no jury service, office holding, voting).

Answer:

• They kept freed people in the same jobs they were forced to do under slavery.
• They limited the social equality of freed people in everyday life and personal relationships.
• They prevented freed people from fully and equally participating in government.
