The first Exodusters left the South in 1879, during the post-Reconstruction era. This movement primarily involved African Americans migrating to Kansas in search of better opportunities and to escape racial violence and oppression in Southern states. The term "Exoduster" is derived from the biblical Exodus, reflecting their desire for freedom and a new beginning. This migration marked one of the largest movements of African Americans in the late 19th century.
