Original Question: Why did many people leave the rural areas of the United States to live in cities in the late 1800s?
Answer: Choice (A) or Many people moved to the cities for increasing job opportunities:
Reason:
Choice (A) is correct because, with the industrialization of America, it became more profitable to live in cities that were built about such industries that gave out reliable wages and a better and more modern life
Choice (B) is incorrect because the Federal government didn't pass any laws forcing African Americans to move anywhere. Moreover, laws passed in relation to African Americans were more focused on their rights and status.
Choice (C) is incorrect because the land remained fertile as aggressive planting methods that were seen in the later 1930s hadn't been implemented, which were known to over cultivate the land leading to its infertility
Choice (D) is incorrect because the KKK or Ku Klux Klan targeted citizens of African descent across the nation, and thus moving the city wasn't going to be any better for them.
