Answer:

The correct answers are:

- World War I and its impact in the U.S. was a major influence on the Great Migration

- The Harlem Renaissance is seen as a result of the Great Migration

- Manufacturing and industrial jobs were a major draw for people in the Great Migration

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Migration refers to the relocation of 6 million African Americans from the rural southern areas to the cities of the North, West, and Midwest from 1916 to 1970. The main reason for the Migration was poor economic opportunities and segregation laws, so the African Americans decided to leave their homes and go towards the North, where they could take advantage of the need for industrial workers during World War One. As World War One impacted the industry of the U.S. positively, it was one of the main reasons for the migration from the South.

Many people migrated from the South to the North to find jobs in factories, and foundries. The area where they lived was rural and poor, and African Americans were treated badly there despite not being slaves anymore. On the other hand, northern cities were wealthier, with developed industry and full of job opportunities, so African Americans decided to go there in order to find a job and have a better life.

During the Great Migration, many African Americans migrated to Harlem. Harlem was a neighborhood in New York City and one of the main black cultural centers. The enormous number of migrations resulted in social and artistic explosions. This period (1910-1930) is considered a golden age of African American culture, especially in literature, music, art and stage performance. It's also one of the greatest results of the Great Migration.
