Mr.
Gates The
movement of people in and within the United States has had a significant impact
on the nation. These movements have been both voluntary and involuntary. This
means people had to move away from their homes and move somewhere else even if
they didn’t want to. They had to move to certain spot in the United States. The
historical circumstances that led to the urban migration were the
discrimination and violence. The contributed to blacks choosing to move within
the United States. St. Clair Drake and Horace Cay ton reiterated the economic
theory two decades after the first migration. Later defenders of the economic theory included Robert
Higgs and William E. Vickery in the 1960s and 1970s that compared southern and
northern economies, quantifying their data to stress the economic motivations
that resulted in creating America’s black industrial working class. One
impact of migration of the United States is African Americans living in the
rural South encountered impoverishing economic conditions that were beyond
their control, pushing them from the land. Another impact of the great
migration was blacks followed Union troops, escaping from their owners’ land.
After the war, emancipated African Americans desired to leave places where they
had been slaves. So migration is about the blacks trying to move from the past
trying to make a better life. Conclusion:
the movement of people in the united states as significant impact on the
nation. The black that was involved in slavery migrated to better places in the
United States to better their life. The blacks followed people to escape from
their owners land so they didn’t have to bossed around and be beaten when they
did something wrong so they wanted a better life better environment they moved
to just make their self-better. http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/uhic/ReferenceDetailsPage/ReferenceDetailsWindow?displayGroupName=K12-Reference&prodId=UHIC&action=e&windowstate=normal&catId=&documentId=GALE|CX2876300017&mode=view&userGroupName=txshracd2904&jsid=d28b2636152974404dcc72ff422460a4
