Which migration was partly driven by the Boll Weevil's effect on cotton production?

The Great Migration refers to the significant movement of African Americans from the rural South to urban areas in the North and West, which primarily occurred during the early to mid-20th century. One of the crucial factors that drove this migration was the Boll Weevil infestation that severely impacted cotton production in the South, leading to economic hardship for many sharecroppers and farmers who relied on cotton as their primary source of income.

As the Boll Weevil devastated cotton crops, many African American families found themselves struggling to make a living, prompting them to seek better opportunities in industrial cities where jobs were more readily available. This transformation not only changed the demographic landscape of the United States but also significantly influenced cultural shifts such as the Harlem Renaissance as these communities established themselves in new urban environments.

The other migration options mentioned do not specifically correlate with the Boll Weevil's impact on cotton production. For instance, the Southern Exodus typically refers to movements within the South rather than migration to the North. Urban Migration can imply movements within urban areas or from rural areas to cities, but lacks the specific historical context tied to the Boll Weevil's effect. Industrial Migration suggests a shift toward industrial jobs, but it fails to capture the broader socio-economic factors at play during the Great Migration.
