Yes and no. Discrimination was just as bad in northern states than southern, but the southern states were slave. If a African American happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time slavers would seek out free African Americans in the north, drug them, and take them south. From that point the person taken was a slave. The law and codes allowed this to happen.

Racist Southern whites, who had just been forced by the Union to free their slaves, enacted the Black Codes to maintain the inferior status of Blacks in the South.

Whites were afraid that newly-freed Blacks would compete for jobs with whites, vote whites out of political offices, and own firearms.

Thus the Black Codes were enacted to render Blacks inferior in employment, ownership of property, voting, and every other social and economic status that freed men could have.

What is the definition of black codes?
black codes, in U.S. history, series of statutes passed by the ex-Confederate states, 1865-66, dealing with the status of the newly freed slaves. They varied greatly from state to state as to their harshness and restrictiveness. Although the codes granted certain basic civil rights to blacks (the right to marry, to own personal property, and to sue in court), they also provided for the segregation of public facilities and placed severe restrictions on the freedman's status as a free laborer, his right to own real estate, and his right to testify in court. Although some Northern states had black codes before the Civil War, this did not prevent many northerners from interpreting the codes as an attempt by the South to reenslave blacks. The Freedmen's Bureau prevented enforcement of the codes, which were later repealed by the radical Republican state governments.
