Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:

2. Explain that push and pull factors motivated blacks to leave the South. They were pushed by segregation, lynching, and natural disasters.
3. Explain that blacks were also pulled to the northern cities by higher paying jobs, integrated educational facilities, political opportunities, and the absence of lynching and segregation in general.
4. Conclude that the Promised Land of northern cities contained its own challenges of inhabiting the inner city environment of large urban America.
