Why did many african american move to the great plains

In the early 1800s, few people lived on the Great Plains. The  Great Plains are in the middle of the United States. People  did not think the land was good for farming. It was very dry  and flat.

In 1862, the Homestead Act was passed. The government  helped people to settle on the Great Plains. The government  sold adults 160 acres of land for a small amount of money. If they could farm the land for five years, they could own it. A settler’s home and land was called a homestead. Many  homesteaders came from the eastern United States, where  farmland cost a lot. In the Great Plains, land was cheaper.   Settlers also came from Europe, where there was not much  land to buy. There was a lot of land to buy in the Great Plains.  African Americans also wanted to start farms. Many African  Americans were poor. They faced prejudice and violence after  the Civil War. They started their own towns in Kansas.

an aneroid barometer is different from a mercury barometer in that it provides readings that increase as air pressure increases.
