The difference between the "Black Codes" and the "Jim Crow" laws was that Black Codes prohibited freedmen from traveling freely, serving on juries or exercising civil rights; Jim Crow laws required racial segregation.

At the end of the Civil War, Black Americans got their freedom and whites in the Southern States were not happy about this. This led to the passage of Black Codes to limit their freedom. It did so by:

  • Prohibiting black people from travelling freely
  • Requiring that black people sign labor contracts that were unfair to them
  • Black people stay in those contracts under penalty of being arrested and forfeiting any salary that they may have been paid.

These codes were rolled back until after the Reconstruction where they were reenacted. Jim Crow laws were also added which:

  • Enforced racial segregation in public facilities
  • Allowed private facilities to refuse entry to people of a certain race
  • Required Blacks to give whites precedence in public transport

We can therefore conclusively say that Black codes limited the rights of Blacks to travel and Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation.
