Answer 1

The correct answer is: The Great Migration.Between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the Great Depression, a significant number of African Americans left the South and moved to northern cities such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Indianapolis. This mass movement of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North is known as the Great Migration. It occurred in two major waves, with the first wave taking place from approximately 1916 to 1930 and the second wave from 1941 to 1970. The Great Migration had a profound impact on the social, economic, and cultural landscape of the United States, as African Americans sought better job opportunities, education, and an escape from the oppressive Jim Crow laws and racial violence prevalent in the South.
