What name was given to southern laws that listed the ways slaves were to be treated? a. slave codes b. emancipation proclamation c. labor laws d. wilmont's proviso

The correct answer is:

A. Slave Codes.

Explanation:

Southern states of the United States were slave states, and every slave state had their own slave codes (which was the name given to the restrictions and rules that applied to slaves), while Northern states were free states and therefor they didn't have any slave codes.

Under this set of codes slaves were seen as property and not as persons and the codes were used to control them and to protect slave owners. Slave Codes established harsh restrictions, slaves were not able to marry, they couldn't gather together unless a white person was there, they couldn't learn to read or write or own firearms, and they couldn't be away from their owners property unless they had permission.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
