Question

select the correct answer.

a. the indian wars
b. the great migration
c. the american revolution
d. the mexican war

Explanation:

The Great Migration (1910-1970) involved millions of African Americans moving from the rural South to Northern cities. This migration brought Southern African American musical traditions (blues, gospel, jazz) to urban areas, where these styles merged with other genres (e.g., country) to lay the foundation for rock and roll. The other events predate or are unrelated to the mid-20th-century development of rock and roll.

Answer:

B. the Great Migration
