Acts Passed by the First General Assembly of the State of Louisiana at its first, second and extra sessions. Immediately following the end of the Civil War, state legislatures in the South passed so-called "Black Codes." Among these codes, the most controversial were the Apprentice laws which, in effect, returned the freedmen to slavery, often under the control of their former masters. While the Civil Rights Act of 1866 nullified the codes, they effectively lasted until 1868 with the passage of the 14th Amendment.
