They hoped to escape discrimination and find beter educational and economic opportunites, that's why African Americans began to move to northern cities in the 1890s.
During the 1890s, a significant migration occurred as many African Americans moved from the rural South to northern cities in search of better economic opportunities and to escape racial oppression and violence, particularly the Jim Crow laws. This movement, part of the broader Great Migration, was driven by the promise of jobs in industrial sectors and the hope for a more equitable social environment. Additionally, some poor white farmers and laborers also sought better prospects in the North, although the scale was smaller compared to the African American migration.

1890s
In the late 1890s, African Americans faced widespread segregation and discrimination, particularly in the Southern United States, where Jim Crow laws institutionalized racial segregation in public spaces, schools, and transportation. This period was marked by systemic violence, including lynching, and socio-economic inequalities that severely limited opportunities for African Americans. The Supreme Court's 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine, further entrenching racial divides. Amidst these challenges, African Americans began to organize for civil rights and social justice, laying the groundwork for future movements.

Before the 1890s the African and European traditions only existed separately, but in New Orleans in the 1890s they needed to coexist.
Northern Ireland did not exist in the 1890s, as it was only created in 1922 when it was partitioned from the rest of Ireland. In the 1890s, all of Ireland was part of the British Empire and so would have used the pound sterling.
