What was the cause of the great migration?

History

Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago

The great migration was the great displacement of African-Americans from the southern states of the United States to the northern states. Looking to find better opportunities for work and fleeing segregation, they migrated massively starting in the early 1900's. They were searching for a better quality of life, more freedom and equality of rights. Motivated to move away from poverty, hunger and violence placed upon them by the conservative Southern American society, they began to migrate to cities of the north, southwest and western United Sates, changing from a rural life to an urban one.They found new jobs in the manufacturing industry that was rising in the north as a result of the first and second world wars and were able to settle and then create new communities. As a result of many years of slavery and even after its abolition, these black Americans suffered injustice, prejudice and racism and were forced to look elsewhere for better living conditions in general. Also the great migration gave African-Americans the chance to better integrate themselves into public and social life within the established mainly white/ of European decent society. These resulted in a great change in the American society as a whole, giving way for black culture to start to develop and take root. African Americans left behind a marginalized and discriminatory existence to raise on they own merits and to form unique and diverse communities with their own culture, food and music among other features that give them their identity today.

Do you think any of the philosophers or the religious leaders were abolitionists or advocated for the end of enslavement?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Black and white abolitionists in the first half of the nineteenth century waged a biracial assault against slavery. Their efforts proved to be extremely effective. Abolitionists focused attention on slavery and made it difficult to ignore. They heightened the rift that had threatened to destroy the unity of the nation even as early as the Constitutional Convention.

Although some Quakers were slaveholders, members of that religious group were among the earliest to protest the African slave trade, the perpetual bondage of its captives, and the practice of separating enslaved family members by sale to different masters.

As the nineteenth century progressed, many abolitionists united to form numerous antislavery societies. These groups sent petitions with thousands of signatures to Congress, held abolition meetings and conferences, boycotted products made with slave labor, printed mountains of literature, and gave innumerable speeches for their cause. Individual abolitionists sometimes advocated violent means for bringing slavery to an end.

Although black and white abolitionists often worked together, by the 1840s they differed in philosophy and method. While many white abolitionists focused only on slavery, black Americans tended to couple anti-slavery activities with demands for racial equality and justice.

Do you think an Incan would have described this achievement as “clever”? Explain.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, an Incan would have described this achievement as “clever” because he/she wouldn't have thought that such limited land would produce so many corns. The fact that only a small portion of the land could grow corns was hampering the food supply of the Incan people.

When irrigation channels were constructed on the demands of the king, land became more fertile and the production of corns increased rapidly. This was truly a clever achievement for the Incas who had limited fertile land to grow corns.
