Effects Of Mississippi's Law On Freed Soldiers
the blacks had right of citizenship, no right to vote and own property. Women had no right the custody of their children. The black soldiers had limited military rank advancement with no promotion. Their economic advancement often thwarted as inequality in remuneration persisted between white and black soldiers. Recommendations for honor ignored and files taken away. Freed soldiers were never honored until 37 years later (James, 2007).
Mississippi’s law required the blacks to have written evidence of employment for the coming year while South Carolina prohibited blacks from holding any occupation except being a farmer or servant unless one paid an annual tax of 10 to 100 dollars. Various state enacted black codes, some prohibited higher wages
