Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a thorough and honest account of the founding, operation, and goals of the American Colonization Society. The author focuses on the society's origins in the early 1800s and its stated mission to return free Black people to Africa. However, the author also details how this mission was a thinly veiled attempt to maintain and expand the institution of slavery in the United States. The book draws on extensive research, including the society's own records, to demonstrate how the organization grew out of slaveholders' fears of slave revolts and their desire to rid the country of free Black people, who were seen as a threat to the stability of slavery. The author further reveals how the society's leaders intentionally misled the public about their motives, painting themselves as humanitarians while simultaneously working to undermine the rights of Black Americans. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex history of race relations in the United States. It sheds light on the origins of the insidious and persistent racism that continues to plague the nation today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
