Answer 1

The reasons African Americans moved north into Indiana after the Civil War include:

1. African Americans were searching for better jobs.
2. African Americans sought places with less racial prejudice.

The other two options, regarding the Freedmen’s Bureau covering relocation costs and the necessity for African Americans to leave the South, are not applicable to the general movement of African Americans to Indiana after the Civil War. While some may have fulfilled those conditions, they were not primary motivations for the migration.
