Causes of Demographic Changes Increased opportunities in
urban areas caused widespread internal migration of African-Americans from the south to the north.
European immigrants, affected by poor economic conditions in Europe after WWI, flocked to U.S. cities, particularly on the East coast.

Racism of the 1920sAs African Americans began
to fight for more rights and equality, racist groups like the KKK emerged as resistance.
Violence in the south in particular caused many African American to move north.
Lynching became a weapon of intimidation used by the KKK and other hate groups.

Great Migration: What is it?Movement of over two million African Americans out of the South to the “Promised Land” of the Northeast and Midwest.
![Page 8: The 1920’s and Changes in American Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812a53550346895d8da4ba/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Great Migration: The Causes African Americans left in search of
jobs in the nation’s growing industrial cities and to escape sharecropping, tenant farming, and the deep racism they faced in the South.
Northern industrial jobs offered wages significantly higher than jobs in the South. Reports from friends and family that had previously migrated to the North inspired increased migration.

Great Migration: The Effects During the 1910s and 1920s,
Chicago’s African-American population more than doubled; Cleveland grew by three times; and Detroit increased six-fold.
Racism, housing shortages and crime greeted African Americans in Northern cities; as a result, they founded organizations such as the National Urban League and the NAACP, which were dedicated to helping them adjust to their new the lives.

Prohibition: Causes and EffectsGroups such as the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, advocated for banning of alcohol in order to protect women and restore order to society.

WWI, more women were required to join the workplace.

The Automobile and SocietyMore and more Americans
began to take to the roads in the 1920s.
