During the Great Mirgation, Africans Americans started moving North for job opportunities since all the previous men who worked in factories were recruited fro war through the Selective Service. People in the South were obviously racist against the African Americans, so during the Great Migration, the right to vote caused a lot of controversy. This is because when the African Americans moved to the Norht they were given the right to vote. The Great Migration is quite ironic because the northerners were fine when all the "colored" people were in the south but when they started moving and living in the the northern territory, many northerners became uncomfortable. Another race that were encouraged to move during the Great Migration were the Hispanics. They moved to farms to get jobs as cowboys in the west.
African Americans left the south. Most African-Americans had remained in the south following emancipation. However, Jim Crow racism, made life difficult for them. As a result the Great Migration to the Northern cities occurred.
