The Black Codes in Mississippi limited the rights and freedoms of African Americans, aiming to maintain white dominance and control over the newly freed population. These laws restricted the mobility, labor options, and social standing of African Americans, perpetuating a system of racial hierarchy and discrimination in the post-Civil War South.
Jim Crow laws consisted of any piece of legislation or local policy that restricted the movement of blacks. For example, while blacks could ride in railcars, they had to sit in designated ones. If they chose to ride on a city bus, they had to sit in the back. Many stores and restaurants denied entry to blacks or had areas to keep them segregated from whites. In many cities, blacks could only live in certain areas of town.
Pennsylvania was the first state to outlaw the importation of blacks for slavery in 1682.
Blacks had to carry papers as a form of identification to prove their status as free individuals, especially in regions where slavery was still prevalent. This practice prevented free blacks from being mistakenly captured and sold into slavery.
Under the slave codes, slaves were forbidden to meet with free blacks to prevent potential collaboration or uprising. Enforcing this separation helped maintain control over the enslaved population and minimized the chances of organized resistance to the system of slavery. Additionally, restricting interaction between slaves and free blacks aimed to prevent the spread of ideas that could challenge the power dynamics of the society.
Slave codes restricted the rights and freedoms of free blacks by imposing limitations on their movement, occupation, and ability to testify in court. They also reinforced the racial hierarchy and served to further marginalize and oppress free blacks in society.

disenfranchisement
Bad in the Confederacy but not bad in the Union. In fact, the Union liberated many blacks and used black soldiers.

First off, it is spelt Mississippi. With that out of the way, blacks in Mississippi technically got the right to vote when blacks did all over the country. However, due to ill-advised policies, there was a continued disenfranchisement until the Civil Rights Era.
