The author cites numerous facets of historical evidence to successfully marshal his support for this theme. The migration of African-Americans was generally attributed to a series of push and pull factors (Wilson 66) that led them away from traditional lives and agricultural...
Push factors included the fact that mechanization and increasing technology in the South, along with the organization of lower class white workers in the region, made agricultural jobs (those that were economically feasible, at least) scarce. Overt forms of Jim Crow racism, which reinforced and aided the organization of white laborers, also operated as factors to push African-Americans from their traditional roles in the Southern agricultural economy.
