Question

3 using source 4, which statement best describes how the great migration affected the population of cities in the united states? a the population in southern cities increased significantly from 1910 to 1920 when african americans moved into these cities, creating an increase in the wages earned by workers. b the population of small cities increased from 1910 to 1920 when african - american workers moved to the west to find better - paying jobs for the railroads and textile mills in western states. c the population of rural cities increased significantly from 1910 to 1920 because many african - american families, who had never owned land before, moved there to purchase land and started farming for a living. d the population of large cities in the north increased from 1910 to 1920 as many african americans migrated to these cities, which offered more social and economic opportunities.

Explanation:

The Great Migration involved African Americans moving from the rural South to northern cities (and some western) for better social and economic opportunities (jobs, less discrimination). Option A is wrong as they moved out of the South. Option B misrepresents the migration direction (more to North, not West for railroads/textiles in that context). Option C is wrong as they moved to urban, not rural, and not to farm. Option D correctly states northern large cities' population grew due to African Americans migrating for opportunities.

Answer:

D. The population of large cities in the north increased from 1910 to 1920 as many African Americans migrated to these cities, which offered more social and economic opportunities.
