Answer 3

Not that I'm aware of. The mass exodus to northern and larger cities was a result of freed blacks looking for better lives away from the plantations they had been slaves on. As far as Indian attacks, they were less common in the late 19th century than they were in the 1700's, and people still moved west even then.

Answer 4

There were a variety of reasons people moved to cities. Mainly it was immigrants who moved to the cities in the late 19th century, but there were also single women and minorities (primarily african americans) who went to the cities to find work, become independent, and start a new life.

Answer 5

Well, by the late 19th century, there were hardly any more attacks on the fronteir, primarily because the fronteir was rapidly closing. People, mostly farmboys/farmgirls moved to the cities because they were tired of farmlife and had heard all of these great things about city life. Life to them in a big city was new because of the mystery, walking down the street and nobody knowing who you were or what your name was was a big thing for them.

Answer 6

Think.....would people really need to move to a city? Why not just east of the Mississippi? No, it's not true, they just called out the calvary to kill more Indians. Remember, the Indian Wars!

Answer 7

I think so my history teacher had told me at camp it was becuase of some sort of attacks by some native people
