What educators are saying

My students were very interested in Black Codes and how they affected society. I needed something for them to dig a little deeper - this was perfect! Thank you!
Thank you for creating activities that are easy to use in the classroom! It is always helpful to have extra resources for teaching the Black Codes to students, since all we have is a textbook. Thank you!

Description

In this Black Codes primary source student activity, students learn about Reconstruction by examining primary source text of the Louisiana Black Codes. Students read and examine samples of text to understand the unjust laws passed throughout the South following the Civil War. After examining all excerpts, students analyze the Black Codes as a whole and their effect on the African-American community.

Two versions of this primary source are included -- one an authentic primary source and one which is slightly modified.
