Detailed explanation-1: -Benjamin “Pap” Singleton was a former bondsman who, later in his life, became known for leading African American migrations from the post-Reconstruction South into Kansas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Singleton advocated the organized colonization of blacks in communities in Kansas and testified about the “Exodusters” before a committee of the U.S. Congress in 1880. A second wave of nearly 20, 000 African Americans came to Kansas in 1879 and 1880.
Detailed explanation-3: -Benjamin “Pap” Singleton was a Black American entrepreneur, North American 19th-century anti-enslavement activist, and community leader. Most notably, Singleton was instrumental in urging Black Americans to leave the South and live on settlements in Kansas. These people were known as Exodusters.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Exodus of 1879 was the first mass migration of African Americans from the South after the Civil War. These migrants, most of them former slaves, became known as exodusters, a name which took inspiration from the biblical Exodus, during which Moses led the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt and into the Promised Land.
