Answer:

Limits on Black Freedom

Step-by-step explanation:

While the codes granted certain freedoms to African Americans, including the right to buy and own property, marry, make contracts and testify in court (only in cases involving people of their own race) their primary purpose was to restrict Black peoples' labor and activity.
