Call Express Route from Reactjs

I'm trying to call express route from Reactjs. Here is a React class method inside which I'm using axios to make a get call to the express route but it doesn't seem to work.

signUp(){
  axios.get('/h')
}

Here is the Nodejs route:

app.get('/h', function(req, res){
  res.sendFile(__dirname + '/html/home.html');
})

Here is something I see in the browser console once the get request has been made:
