Answer 1

Answer: When blacks like John Parker decided to move to the North during World War I, they were seeking greater economic opportunity and social freedom. Blacks did find greater economic opportunity in the North, but they still found themselves in the less desirable and lower paying jobs. They also still faced much discrimination against blacks in the North. After the end of the war, blacks often lost many of the gains they had made economically, but many were still better off than they had been before the war.
