Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The increased migration of African Americans to the North resulted in competition for limited resources such as housing and employment, leading to violent clashes between whites and blacks. This is evident in instances such as the Detroit and Chicago riots of 1943 and 1967. While the migration did lead to some improvements in the lives of African Americans, such as increased opportunities and access to education, it did not result in an immediate or widespread overhaul of discriminatory practices. Additionally, there may have been individual cases of blacks passing as white, but this was not a significant factor in the consequences of the migration. The movement of more whites to the South was not a significant trend during this time period.
