Use the data compiled in the previous steps to answer the following questions.
Answer these in a narrative format. You may find it useful to also create a bar
graph of the data from the census before 1879 and the census after 1879. You might
also use several census dates before and after 1879 in order to create a line graph
showing immigration patterns over time. In these ways you can compare the
immigration patterns before and after the Exoduster period.
For the census years 1870 or 1875
- How many African-Americans immigrated from each former slave holding state state to the
local area of study?
- How many African-Americans immigrated from each former non-slave holding state state to
the local area of study?
- What percentage of the total population of the local area of study is the
African-American population?
- What is the total White population of the local area of study?
- What percentage of the total populaton of the local area of study is the White
population?
Does any evidence show that immigrants were settling the local area or were they staying
only temporarily?
Do any patterns emerge concerning the occupations of those immigrating?
Using primary or secondary sources determine what were some of the reactions of the
local community to immigration during this time.
