Please help, I'll give brainliest! America’s participation in World War I had an impact on all aspects of American society. Determine one social, one political, and one economic effect the war had on African Americans.

World War I was a transformative moment in African-American history. The American industrial economy grew significantly

during the war. However, the conflict also cut off European immigration and reduced the pool of available cheap labor. Unable

to meet demand with existing European immigrants and white women alone, northern businesses increasingly looked to black

southerners to fill the void. In turn, the prospect of higher wages and improved working conditions prompted thousands of

black southerners to abandon their agricultural lives in the south and moved to urban areas in the North. In a movement known

as the Great Migration , between 1914 and 1920 roughly 500,000 black southerners packed their bags and headed to the

North.

Another factor that drove many African Americans to the urban areas in northern states during the Great Migration was the

proliferation of violence against blacks in the Jim Crow era. Jim Crow laws were in effect across the United States, but

lynching and violence against blacks was most heavily concentrated in the southern states. On a more positive note, the Great

Migration also supported cultural growth in the arts and music in urban areas for African Americans; an example of this was

the Harlem Renaissance.

The war most directly impacted those African Americans called to fight and labor in the military overseas. Over 200,000

crossed the Atlantic and served in France. The war became a rallying point for black leaders to call for political change at

home. It would be insincere , many black people argued, for the United States to fight for democracy in Europe while African

Americans remained second-class citizens at home. "If America truly understands the functions of democracy and justice, she

must know that she must begin to promote democracy and justice at home first of all," Arthur Shaw of New York proclaimed.

When many black soldiers returned to the United States looking for employment and seeking the rights they had as equals on

the battlefield, tensions arose. In 1919, the United States saw major race riots across the country; known as “Red Summer”

the violence spread throughout the country resulting in the deaths of many African Americans.
