Answer:

They wanted to reconnect with family members

Step-by-step explanation:

When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863 most of African Americans lived in the Southern US. After slavery was abolished they started to migrate, they moved in small family groups or as individuals to reconnect with their family members.
