Answer 2

Answer: Southerners moved to northern cities for better employment.

The Great Migration occurred between 1916 and 1970, and it refers to the movement of people from the South, particularly African Americans, to the urban Northeast, Midwest and West of the United States. Although the causes were varied, better employment in urban cities was their main motivation. Segregation and racist ideologies in the South was another important factor.
