The BEST example of a "push factor" for the thousands of African-Americans who moved to the North and West after the Reconstruction era is B "Jim Crow" laws, discrimination, and segregation in the South.

Push factors are conditions that drive people to leave their home region, and in this context, the oppressive racial laws and widespread discrimination in the South were significant reasons African-Americans sought better lives elsewhere.
