The correct answers are "racial oppression of Jim Crow laws," "poor economic conditions in the South," and "influence of newspapers in Northern cities."
The reasons that were a push factor, not a pull factor, for people to join the Great Migration were the following:
-Racial oppression of Jim Crow laws
-Poor economic conditions in the South
-Influence of newspapers in Northern cities
We are talking about the times of the Great Migration.
There was a time in the modern history of the United States when more than 6 million African Americans from the southern states decided to move up north. This was known as the Great Migration.
Black people who lived in the poor and rural areas of the southern states decided to move to the North and Midwest. The migration started around 1916 and finally ended in 1970.
African Americans were tired of segregationism practices in the South and decided to migrate to the North, where the big industries needed extra hands in the factories to operate the machines during World War I. What these people were looking for was a better life for their families.
