Correct Answer:

The impeachment of Johnson led to the creation of Black Codes, which made Reconstruction era laws irrelevant.

Explanation:

After the war between the Unionist and the Confederates, the Abraham Lincoln regime tried to readmit the Southerners into the Union of America as well as toreconstruct and rebuild the southern states through his Reconstruction policy.

Its success was greatly impacted after his death through series of actions by the Southerners. One of them was the passing of the Black Codes which was done inorder to restrict African Americans' freedom, and to compel them to work for low wages.

Others include the imposition of voter qualifications, and allowed the sharecropping system to thrive, ensuring that the standard of living did not improve for freed slaves
