Why did many southern cities and states pass laws to limit the rights of freed slaves? state governments wanted to teach the lesson that freedom brings responsibility. southern citizens feared freed slaves threatened the institution of slavery and would try to encourage slave rebellions. white churches were losing members to the independent church movement. lawmakers felt freed slaves had not earned the benefits of citizenship.

Mostly because they feared any kind of rebellion (second option), there were rumors of rebellion and that the government would grant 40 acres and a mule to the ex-slave families.  

Southern citizens feared freed slaves threatened the institution of slavery and would try to encourage slave rebellions

Explanation:

The southern citizens had the feelings that since the freed slaves were former slaves they would have influence on the slaves who are yet to be freed when they have access to them.

The southern cities and states legislatures passed laws to limit the rights of the freed slaves to contain the fears been entertained by the southerns citizens who owned slaves in the U.S. the white churches were not losing members to the independent  church movement due to the freedom of the freed slaves.
