What was the primary purpose of the Southern implementation of Black Codes?

In the South, "slave codes" placed significant restrictions on black Americans who were not themselves slaves. A major purpose of these laws was maintenance of the system of white supremacy that made slavery possible.

The primary purpose of the Black Codes was to maintain the economic and social structures of slavery after it was abolished. These laws aimed to control African Americans by restricting their rights, labor, and mobility, thereby reinforcing a system of racial hierarchy and economic exploitation in the post-Civil War South.
