Life after slavery for the Exodusters, primarily African Americans who migrated from the South to Kansas in the late 19th century, was marked by both hope and hardship. While they sought freedom and the opportunity to establish their own communities, they faced significant challenges, including racial discrimination, limited economic resources, and harsh living conditions. Many Exodusters aimed to build self-sustaining farms but encountered difficulties such as drought and inadequate land. Despite these obstacles, their migration represented a pursuit of independence and a chance to create a better future for themselves and their families.
African Americans that migrated to the Great Plains were called Exodusters.
The plantations depended on slavery. The factories did not want slavery, couldn't use it, needed the free movement of skilled labour.
The Exodusters were African-American slaves who moved to Kansas with the aid of Benjamin "Pap" Singleton and others. They moved seeking a better life than was available in the South. Some were also falsely told that they would get 40 acres and a mule in Kansas. There was also a crop failure in South Carolina that made some leave there to hope for a better life.
The Exodusters were African Americans who feared being targeted by hate groups. They were trying to escape from racial violence.
