    The answer is: Discrimination against African Americans in the South peaked during the war.

    Explanation:

    During the World War II, many African Americans from the South headed to the Northern cities because of the "Jim Crow" policy. This was, particularly, a segregation policy that gave the whites supremacy over all races. The laws under this policy were very harsh and rigid against the African Americans thus, such kind of discrimination led to their migration (escape) to the North.

    Once they were able to settle in the North, they took advantage of the employment opportunities such as jobs in the industries.

    Thus, this explains the answer.
