Why did the black codes prohibit teaching slaves to read and write?
An educated person can read ideas and think critically about those ideas. Eventually they will work for their freedom so to have an uneducated slave was best to keep them slaves. The more you know the less chance of becoming a slave.
In the South following the Civil War, the white governments sought to avoid losing economic and political power to the newly freed slaves. The Black Codes were laws enacted in 1865 and 1866 to reduce the rights of blacks.
Under the Codes, they were not allowed to vote, to hold office, or to serve on a jury. They were also not guaranteed any sort of public education. In effect, their rights under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were being denied.
The Black Codes led to further exertion of power by the North, which demanded that states ratify the 13th and 14th Amendments before being allowed to regain their representation in Congress. Military rule was established and new Republican governments soon repealed the Black Codes.
Although they were ruled unconstitutional, the Black Codes were soon supplanted by the Jim Crow laws, so that the separate-but-equal doctrine allowed states to continue to repress their black populations for another century.
In addition, attacking the Black Codes were a high priority for Congress. The Civil Rights Act of 1866, was a step towards this goal.

Who invented the name for the Jim Crow laws?
Dr. John Thorp, a cultural anthropologist at the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich., said a song sung by blacks in the early 19th century poked fun at Jim Crow, a slave master, and a law that said blacks couldn't dance by shuffling their feet. In the 1820s it appeared in sheet music written by Thomas Dartmouth "Daddy" Rice, a white actor and musician who did short skits between play scenes at the Park Theater in New York City. Some accounts say Rice heard a black man singing the Jim Crow song on the street and decided to use that image as a stage character in his act. Rice depicted blacks as lazy, singing and dancing fools in his act. His stage show was a hit, and Jim Crow became a stock character in other minstrel shows. The term "Jim Crow Law" was first used n 1841 in reference to a Massachusetts law which required railroads to provide a separate car for Negro passengers.

However, to get the land for a railroad, Native American rights to territory had to be taken away as quickly as possibly to make way for construction.

"Black Codes"
March, 1724
Once free, according to the Black Code, persons of color were granted the rights of full citizenship except for three crucial exceptions; they could not vote, hold public office or marry a white person. Because all non-whites had to carry proof of either ownership by a master or proof of being freed, free people of color were expected to carry passes identifying their status. They were also not allowed to own or operate establishments where alcohol was sold. Louis, by the Grace of God, King of France and of Navarre, to all present and to come, greeting.
