The correct answer is D. Thousands of African American Southeners moved to the American north in search of better opportunities.

The displacement of 1.75 million African-Americans from the southern states to those of the midwest, northwest and west of that country was called The Great Migration. It took place from 1915 to 1930. The estimate of the number of displaced persons varies according to the time frame used. Black migrants sought to escape racism and seek work in the thriving industrial cities.

The migration of African-Americans had as an indirect consequence an improvement in their integration into society. Living and working closer to Americans of European origin made the difference between the two human groups gradually erased. This period was for many African-Americans the transition from a rural lifestyle linked to farms to another urban as industrial workers.

president franklin roosevelt supported the tva as part of his first new deal measures approved by congress in 1933. this new agency was designed to control floods, produce electric power, and improve the lives of people living in the tennessee valley. the tva accomplished many of these goals despite problems.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
