 After its ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in November 1865 , the South Carolina legislature immediately began to legislate Black Codes . The Black Codes created a separate set of laws , punishments , and acceptable behaviors for anyone with more than one black great @-@ grandparent . Under these Codes , Blacks could only work as farmers or servants and had few Constitutional rights . Restrictions on black land ownership threatened to make economic subservience permanent .
