    which of the following does not represent a group that participated significantly in westward migration after 1870?
    □ african american \exodusters\ escaping racism and seeking economic opportunities

  2. Brief Explanations
    • African American "exodusters" migrated west after 1870 to escape racism and find economic stability, so they were significant participants.
    • Former Southern slaveholders had lost much of their wealth and power after the Civil War (ending 1865) and did not form a major group migrating west for new opportunities post-1870; their influence and ability to do so was severely diminished.
    • Northern European and Canadian immigrants moved west in large numbers after 1870 to take advantage of homesteading and industrial opportunities.
    • Chinese immigrants continued seeking gold and labor opportunities in California and the West after 1870, though facing discrimination.
