Forced conscription into the military, restrictions on religious freedom, famines, laws prohibiting land ownership, high taxes, grinding poverty - these are factors that have often persuaded people to seek better lives elsewhere. Oppression at home can be a powerful incentive to leave. Were difficult times at home "pushing" people away or was the promise of better lives "pulling" them somewhere else? Usually the answer lies in a combination of both influences. Historians often examine the issues that lead people to migrate in terms of "push-pull" factors. How does oppression force people to either stay or move?
