The thousands of African Americans who migrated to Kansas in the late 1870s called themselves "Exodusters." This term emerged after the Exodus of 1879, when many Black families left the South seeking better opportunities and escaping the oppressive conditions of Jim Crow laws. They aimed to establish a new life in the West, particularly in Kansas, where they sought land and greater freedom.
