## Caption

Slavery was abolished in 1865. Within months, Southern states passed the Black Codes — laws designed to recreate slavery in everything but name.

Couldn't own land. Couldn't gather in groups. Couldn't leave a job without permission. Vagrancy laws made unemployment itself a crime — punishable by forced labor.

They abolished slavery. Then rebuilt it with different paperwork.

The 13th Amendment still allows slavery as punishment for a crime. That wasn't an accident either.
