The primary reason the Exodusters left the South was discrimination. They sought to escape the oppressive conditions, racial violence, and economic hardship that were prevalent in the South during the Reconstruction era. Many African Americans migrated to the West in search of better opportunities and to build new lives in more welcoming environments.
