Maureen found this resource while preparing the Time Lines presentation. History for Genealogists was written by Judy Jacobson and has a 2016 addendum.The subtitle says it all: "Using Chronological Time Lines to Find Your Ancestors." The third chapter is called "Why Did They Leave" and includes lists of military actions, epidemics, political unrest, natural disasters, etc. that might explain a migration.
Another chapter talks about the various migration routes through America, and the final chapter gives an historical timeline for each state.
Thanks for sharing the book, Maureen!
