The Great Migration was a time when African Americans moved west for various reasons trough the 1915-1930. When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, less than 8 percent of the African American population lived in the Northeast or Midwest. By 1900, about 90 percent of all African-Americans still resided in states with slaves. There wasn't very much food while they were trying to get to the North. One reason they left was because of floods and the bug called the boll weevil that destroyed many crops. The boll weevil was a highly destructive insect that entered the United States from Mexico. It lived in the southern economy in the period between 1910 and 1920 by inflicting large amounts of damage on the region's cotton crops forcing people to move.
