Where did theExodusters migrate to?

The Exodusters were African Americans who migrated from the Southern United States to Kansas in the late 19th century, particularly after the Civil War and during the Reconstruction era. They sought to escape oppressive conditions in the South, including racism and economic hardship, and aimed to establish a better life in the West. Kansas was seen as a land of opportunity where they could own land and build self-sufficient communities. The migration played a significant role in the settlement of the Great Plains.
