Which factors are examples of how physical geography may have affected the great migration in the united states?

Answer

The factors which are examples of how physical geography may have affected the great migration into the United States are;

•Rivers and oceans that affected transportation patterns

•Mountains that affected rainfall patterns and settlements

Explanations

The desire for natural resources largely influenced migratory patterns into the United States during the great migration period. Rainfall patterns made migrants to avoid certain routes to be able to survive the journey and reach the destination. Heavy storms contributed to loss of many migrants crossing into the U.S  through  ocean vessels that could sometime loose stability and sink in the middle of the ocean.In the 18th century, massive immigrants from Ireland landed into their colonies but traveled far to reach Pennsylvania which offered generous land grants.The area had plenty of land where Scotch-Irish settlers kept increasing in the region until they reach Appalachian Mountains due to the availabilty of land they could practice farming.

regarding the law, the 15th amendment was specifically designed thinking in the rights of black free men.

even though ratified on february 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th amendment would not be fully applied for a long time.poll taxes and literacy tests would allow southern states disenfranchise african americans. only in 1965 the voting rights for african americans would be actually able to vote in the south.

in 1965, president johnson signed the voting rights act, which aimed to overcome legal barriers that prevented african americans from voting as it was guaranteed by the 15th amendment to the u.s. constitution.
