I Googled African American exodusters and this popped up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodusters

is it B

Right.

To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the given options:

a. work as sharecroppers on bonanza farms: This option suggests that African American Exodusters migrated west to work as sharecroppers on large farms known as bonanza farms. However, this is not an accurate choice as the motivation for the migration was not primarily the opportunity for agricultural work.

b. escape racial violence in the South: This option proposes that African American Exodusters migrated west to flee racial violence in the South. This is a plausible choice, as many African Americans faced discrimination and violence in the post-Reconstruction era.

c. find relatives who had fled during the Civil War: This option suggests that African American Exodusters migrated west to search for family members who had fled during the Civil War. While this is a possibility, it may not be the primary reason for their migration.

d. prospect for gold and silver: This option proposes that African American Exodusters migrated west in search of opportunities for prospecting gold and silver. Though gold rushes and mining did attract migrants to the West, it is less likely to be the primary motivation for Exodusters specifically.

Considering the above options, the most accurate choice is b. escape racial violence in the South. The African American Exodusters migrated west primarily as a response to racial discrimination and violence they faced in the Southern states after the Reconstruction era.

In summary, the correct answer is b. escape racial violence in the South.
