Question

In the 1920s, why did African Americans move away from the southern United States to the big cities of the North?

Answer 1

B- a lot of slaves back then tried to escape their lives of entrapment and being owned by other human beings,so they would attempt to make their way to the North where slavery was not accepted or used. If slaves made it north they would have lived their lives as free people,but if they were caught they were usually beaten or killed to make an example to show other slaves what would happen if they ran away.
