Question

1. what was a major cause of the great migration?

• desire to escape jim crow laws in the south
• abundant farmland in the west
• new immigration laws
• increased mining opportunities

Explanation:

The Great Migration was the movement of African Americans from the South to the North (and other regions) in large numbers. Jim Crow laws in the South enforced racial segregation and discrimination, creating a hostile environment with limited rights and opportunities for African Americans. The desire to escape these oppressive Jim Crow laws was a major push factor. Abundant farmland in the West was more related to westward expansion and other migrations, new immigration laws were about foreign immigration, and increased mining opportunities were not the primary cause of the Great Migration.

Answer:

A. Desire to escape Jim Crow laws in the South
