In the post-Civil War era, African Americans in the South faced a hostile environment due to racial discrimination and violence. Many African Americans responded to this by migrating to the Northeast and Midwest regions of the United States. These areas offered more opportunities for employment in factories and other industries, and African Americans hoped to find better living conditions and escape the oppressive conditions of the South. This movement, known as the Great Migration, played a significant role in shaping the demographic and cultural landscape of the United States.
