Exodusters  

Définition(s)

  • Named for their parallels to the Jews fleeing Egyptian slavery, the Exodusters were a grassroots movement of African American families (estimates range from six thousand to twenty-six thousand to fifty thousand people) who fled the South circa 1877 to 1882 (especially in 1879) to make their non-Southern homes, primarily in Kansas. Most arrived by Missouri River boats, but others walked from Texas across Indian Territory. [Source: Encyclopedia of Politics of the American West; Exodusters]
