The Exodusters were black African Americans who formed their own independent communities in the west because they believed the west would prove their promise land. Kansas seemed like the "ideal" place for blacks because that is where the sought peace unlike the south where there was the cruelty of the black codes, the cruelness of the sharecroppers and the Klu Klux Klan.

Exodusters were African Americans who migrated from the Southern United States to Kansas and other parts of the West in the late 19th century, particularly after the Civil War and during the Reconstruction era. This movement, which began in the 1870s, was motivated by the desire for land, economic opportunities, and escape from racial discrimination and violence in the South. The term "Exodusters" is derived from the biblical Exodus, reflecting their quest for a promised land where they could seek greater freedom and prosperity. Their migration played a significant role in the settlement and development of the Great Plains.
