    An enslaved person could be granted freedom by the state government.

    Explanation

    Enslaved person could not testify against a white. Slave codes were a series of codes which codified the behavior of the slave owners and the slaves. Slaves codes were designed by the whites in order to promote the slave labor.

    During the time of emancipation proclamation, many slaves were set to be free. Freedman is the person who was set to be free from the clutches of slavery. Enslaved person could not purchase or own any property as he is considered to be equal to a property who can be bought and sold. slave codes were once legitimized in United states of America. After the civil war and the African american enfranchisement, slavery reduced in america.
