Mississippi's Black Codes are laws enacted by fearful white southerners after the emancipation due to the civil war. There are many of them, but basically they were designed to control 'black' labor, mobility and social status. So while according to the nation 'blacks' were free, these southern laws enabled farmers, and business owners to still control their former slaves. The codes themselves are easy to find if you simply bing or Google your same question.

Did slavery end in 1995 in Mississippi?
No. Slavery ended in Mississippi when the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution became law, December 6, 1865. The Mississippi State Constitution of 1868 banned slavery: 'Sec. 19. There shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in this State, otherwise than in the punishment of crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.' The internet rumor that slavery was legal until 1995 in Mississippi is false.
