Question

Where did the Exodusters migrate to

Answer 1

The majority of Exodusters settled in Kansas, but many settled in what would become Oklahoma, Colorado, Ohio, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico, Arizona, and Montana. More than 6,000 Exodusters had arrived in Kansas in the spring of 1879 alone.

Answer 2

The exodusters left the South to migrate to Kansas and other western states. Kansas was particularly attractive to exodusters because it was the home of the famous abolitionist, John Brown, and it had never been a slave state. Kansas was also closer than many of the other western states.
