The main reason many freed slaves moved to urban areas was:

Question

a. To find relatives.
b. To find a place to live.
c. To practice their freedom of religion.
d. To search for jobs.

Answer 1

Hey Jacquelyn:

 

Freed slaves moved north for many reasons, including A...to find relatives. However, they moved to urban areas (cities) probably because they knew they could find a job more easily than they could in rural areas (like farms). 

 

C is definitely NOT the answer and B probably goes along with finding relatives...but finding a place to live was probably not the most important reason they moved to the cities. They could just as easily find a place to live elsewhere.

 

I hope this helps!
