Respuesta :

A primary motivation for the Kansas Exodus of many African-Americans to the West following the Civil War was "(C) Escaping the racial tensions of the South," since immediately after the Civil War ended, most southern states implemented a series of Jim Crow laws, which left blacks very much disenfranchised.
