president franklin roosevelt supported the tva as part of his first new deal measures approved by congress in 1933. this new agency was designed to control floods, produce electric power, and improve the lives of people living in the tennessee valley. the tva accomplished many of these goals despite problems.

the second significant cause of the great migration was the desire of black southerners to escape segregation, known euphemistically as jim crow. rural african american southerners believed that segregation - and racism and prejudice against blacks - was significantly less intense in the north.
