Why was the exoduster movement important in the narrative of american westward expansion and american history as a whole?

Exodusters is the name given to the thousands of African Americans who migrated from southern states to Kansas in order to escape from the racial discrimination.

Explanation:

It was the time homestead act was passed and the region of Kansas was open for settlement. America was ready to westward expansion as there was also a prevalence of belief in Manifest Destiny during that time. Many African Americans suffered the whites' supremacy and racial discrimination and in order to escape from this kind of disparity, the former slave called Benjamin Pap Singleton had arranged for a mass migration of the African Americans from south to Kansas. The people who migrated were called to be Exodusters. During that time, there were Anti slavery activists protesting against slavery. So it was easy for the African Americans to settle in Kansas.

Benjamin Pap Singleton had advertised that Kansas is the promise land and he used posters, handbills and pamphlets which had 'Sunny Kansas' printed on it and the African Americans who already suffered black codes and Jim Crow laws felt the need for freedom and a land for a respectful living. Hence, they left to Kansas. Around thirty thousand Exodusters migrated from southern states to Kansas. Whites opposed this mass migration because they were desperate that they were going to face loss of slave labor.
