Because of racial oppression. Many white southerners attempted to deny civil and voting rights to African Americans. Some passed laws like the black codes to oppress the blacks. Others like the KKK used violent means, often killing (lynching) those who fought for their rights.
African Americans also had very few economic opportunities in the South after the civil war. They could go back to the plantations to earn wages, but these wages were often too low to support a family. They could also become sharecroppers, but it often placed them in a cycle of debt that only deepened.
