Write a one-paragraph editorial about the Black Codes from one of the perspectives we studied in class today.
An editorial is an opinion piece that is written in a newspaper. You should take a stance (I think the Black Codes are good/bad/fair/unfair/just/unjust/healthy/unhealthy because....) and provide at least three reasons for your opinion.
NOTE: Today, the idea of Black Codes would be (and SHOULD be) very, very offensive. However, this assignment allows you to write about the Black Codes from the perspective of a rich, white farmer from the South.
YOU ARE ALLOWED, AND ENCOURAGED, TO WRITE FROM A PERSPECTIVE YOU DISAGREE WITH.
