Answer 2

When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, less than eight percent of the African American population lived in the Northeast or Midwest. In 1900, approximately ninety percent of African-Americans resided in former slave-holding states.Most African Americans migrated to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, as well as to many smaller industrial cities. People tended to take the cheapest rail ticket possible. This resulted in, for example, people from Mississippi moving to Chicago and people from Texas moving to Los Angeles. ..... Hope this helps !!
