Question

which answer best describes an event that happened because of the great migration? twenty percent of african americans remained in the south rather than move north in search of jobs. african americans, looking for a lower cost of living, and to be closer to family, return to the south. white southern elites tried to lure laborers back to the south by addressing some of their concerns. the south developed a lower cost of living than the north, luring northern laborers back to the south.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option in the context of the Great Migration (where African Americans moved from the South to the North for jobs, better life). After the Great Migration, white southern elites wanted labor back, so they addressed laborers' concerns to lure them. Let's check others: First option is about those who stayed, not an event because of migration. Second option: African Americans returning for lower cost/location is not the main post - Great Migration event driven by the migration's impact. Fourth option: The South developing lower cost to lure northern laborers (not specific to African Americans from the Great Migration) is less accurate. The third option (White southern elites tried to lure laborers back to the south by addressing some of their concerns) aligns with the post - Great Migration context as the South lost labor and elites acted to get them back.

Answer:

C. White southern elites tried to lure laborers back to the south by addressing some of their concerns (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A: Twenty percent of African Americans remained in the south rather than move north in search of jobs. B: African Americans, looking for a lower cost of living, and to be closer to family, return to the south. C: White southern elites tried to lure laborers back to the south by addressing some of their concerns. D: The south developed a lower cost of living than the north, luring northern laborers back to the south.)
