SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETE ORIGINALNEWSPAPER,theSan Francisco Evening Bulletin(CA) datedAug 24, 1858.This original newspaper contains an inside page headline: \"THE LAW AGAINST NEGR0 TESTIMONY, NOT APPLICABLE AGAINST AN INJURED PARTY\" with a report on the Act in San Francisco, CA against NEGR0ES TESTIFYING against WHITE PEOPLE in CALIFORNIA during the era of the CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH.

This act was an example of the BLACK CODES, passed in the US to limit political privileges by African-Americans, both free and enslaved.

The San Francisco Evening Bulletin was a newspaper in San Francisco, founded as the Daily Evening Bulletin in 1855 by James King of William. King used the newspaper to crusade against political corruption, and built it into having the highest circulation in the city. He died a year after its founding, assassinated by rival newspaperman and local politician James P. Casey, whom King had exposed as an ex-felon.

The Black Codes, sometimes called the Black Laws, were laws which governed the conduct of African Americans (both free and freedmen). In 1832, James Kent wrote that \"in most of the United States, there is a distinction in respect to political privileges, between free white persons and free colored persons of African blood; and in no part of the country do the latter, in point of fact, participate equally with the whites, in the exercise of civil and political rights.\" Although Black Codes existed before the Civil War and although many Northern states had them, the Southern U.S. states codified such laws in everyday practice. The best known of these laws were passed by Southern states in 1865 and 1866, after the Civil War, in order to restrict African Americans\' freedom, and in order to compel them to work for either low or no wages.

Since the colonial period, colonies and states had passed laws that discriminated against free Blacks. In the South, these were generally included in \"slave codes\"; the goal was to suppress the influence of free blacks (particularly after slave rebellions) because of their potential influence on slaves. Restrictions included prohibiting them from voting (North Carolina had allowed this before 1831), bearing arms, gathering in groups for worship, and learning to read and write. The purpose of these laws was to preserve slavery in slave societies.
