Praxis II Citizenship

Answer: B -The largest migration in American history took place during the Dust Bowl. Ultimately, 2.5 million people abandoned the Great Plains, heading to various corners of the country. Most of the migrants were farmers who, as the land became untenable, were left penniless and unsure of when their land would be workable again. Many displaced Midwesterners then headed west; California alone became home to 200,000 people displaced by the harsh Midwestern conditions.
