Answer 1

At the start of World War I, around 90% of African Americans lived in the South, primarily as agricultural workers, before the Great Migration began.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start of World War I, approximately 90% of African Americans lived in the South. Even as late as 1910, seven out of every eight African Americans resided in the South, mainly as agricultural workers in the aftermath of the Civil War.

The onset of the war saw the beginning of the Great Migration, where nearly 350,000 African Americans moved north to urban areas, seeking better economic opportunities and escaping the Jim Crow laws of the South.
