Question

Which of these is NOT an example of black codes?

-Any black found drunk will pay a fine of $5
-Blacks could not assemble without the presence of a white person
-Every worker in the South had to pay a 6% income tax
-All blacks had to have a job, if not they were whipped

Answer 1

Every worker in the South had to pay 6% income tax is not an example of black codes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first option is not correct because it is specifically aiming that only the black people will be fined if found drunk.

The second option is not correct because it specifically says that black people could not assemble for themselves, but they need a white person to be present.

The third option is correct because it is not a law that segregates people by their color, instead, everyone that works has to pay the same percentage of income tax.

The fourth option is not correct because it specifically says that only black people will get physically punished for not having a job.
