The term "Black Code" is often used in reference to the postwar south, but there were similar restrictions in many northern states, especially in the midwest. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Codes_(United_States):
"Article 13 of Indiana's 1851 Constitution stated "No Negro or Mulatto shall come into, or settle in, the State, after the adoption of this Constitution." The 1848 Constitution of Illinois led to one of the harshest Black Code systems in the nation until the Civil War. The Illinois Black Code of 1853 extended a complete prohibition against black immigration into the state."
