Best Answer

Racial tensions increased in Northern cities during and after World War I due to migration. Not only were poor blacks fleeing tenant farming and Jim Crow laws in the south, but southern whites were as well. They all came north to find jobs in the cities, causing them to mingle and fight for the limited jobs and housing available. The tensions grew leading to riots in some cities.
