Jim Crow laws and the Fugitive Slave Acts both reinforced systemic racial discrimination and upheld white supremacy in the United States. Jim Crow laws institutionalized racial segregation and disenfranchised African Americans in the post-Reconstruction South. Similarly, the Fugitive Slave Acts mandated the return of escaped enslaved individuals to their owners, criminalizing their freedom and denying them basic rights. Both sets of laws reflected and perpetuated the societal norms of racism and inequality during their respective periods.

What are the separate but equal laws for slaves?

There were no "separate but equal" laws for slaves. Slaves were considered unequal and were treated as such.The laws requiring racially "separate but equal" public accommodations are called Jim Crow laws, and developed in reaction to the Civil War and Reconstruction. After the slaves were emancipated, the United States ratified the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, outlawing slavery, attempting to create equal protection for African-Americans, and granting African-American men the right to vote. Many white people opposed equality for former slaves, and felt threatened by the new social order. Jim Crow laws were a desperate attempt to keep African-Americans "in their place," because many whites considered them inferior.
