African Americans sought free land in the Midwest as part of the post-Civil War movement known as the "Exoduster" movement. This migration aimed to escape the oppressive conditions of the South, including Jim Crow laws and widespread racism. Many believed that acquiring land in the Midwest would provide opportunities for economic independence and a better quality of life. The promise of land ownership was seen as a pathway to self-sufficiency and the chance to build thriving communities.
