Housing for the Negroes was a very difficult problem

The Negro was the largest source of labor to be found after all others had been exhausted

They did not always leave because they were promised work in the North. Many of them left because of Southern conditions, one of them being great floods that ruined the crops, and therefore they were unable to make a living where they were

Race riots were very numerous all over the North because of the antagonism that was caused between the Negro and white workers. Many of these riots occurred because the Negro was used as a strike breaker in many of the Northern industries

One of the largest race riots occurred in East St. Louis

The Negro press was also influential in urging the people to leave the South

They arrived in great numbers into Chicago, the gateway of the West

The trains were packed continually with migrants

Living conditions were better in the North

Although the Negro was used to lynching, he found this an opportune time for him to leave where one had occurred
