Between 1910 and 1940, a significant number of African Americans left the South due to oppressive conditions, including Jim Crow laws, racial violence, and economic hardships rooted in sharecropping and limited job opportunities. The Great Migration was driven by the search for better employment in northern cities, where factories and industries offered more job prospects and relatively better living conditions. Additionally, the promise of greater social and political rights in the North attracted many seeking to escape systemic racism and discrimination in the South.
