Migration out of the Appalachian region differed between social classes because members of the higher social class didn’t necessarily need to move, and when they did it was to a place of high quality. Members of the lower class moved to cities that could offer them a job and a place to live. However, for these members of the lower class, the move meant little pay, tough working conditions, as well as poor living conditions. Between the races, both whites and blacks left the region seeking jobs, but in some places housing was segregated and some factories as well. Blacks then had to seek out places that they could live as well as be hired by a factory. The social factor is an obvious difference for the migration patters, as well as the racial tension that existed at this time. Also, if a family had other family in a city that could provide housing, they were likely to migrate to that city. In some cases men who served in the military fought abroad and then returned to a menial job and left to seek better pay. They moved to places based on region, but they went to Ohio, Michigan, Washington, Georgia, Atlanta, Charlotte, and more. It was chain migration linked to origin and destination. For some there was a transition, but mostly they moved immediately and then tried several destinations before settling down. A family might move to Washington, and from there move to Charlotte to settle down. Depending on class and race, some destinations were better than others.
