need for more workers in the North
B
racial oppression of Jim Crow laws
C
poor economic conditions in the South
D
increase in brutality from the Ku Klux Klan
E
influence of newspapers in Northern cities

Explanation

Push factors made people want to leave the South. Jim Crow laws created racial oppression, poor economic conditions limited opportunities, and increased Ku Klux Klan brutality threatened people’s safety. These were all reasons to leave. Northern jobs and newspapers encouraging migration were pull factors because they attracted people to the North.
