Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the history of the American Colonization Society, formed in 1817 to repatriate free people of color to Africa. The author chronicles the efforts of the society's founders, including Judge Bushrod Washington and Henry Clay, to establish a colony in Liberia. The book discusses the challenges faced by the society, including the resistance of some African Americans to the idea of repatriation and the hostility of slave owners who feared the society would encourage slave revolts. Despite these challenges, the society persevered, and in 1847, Liberia declared its independence, becoming the first African republic. The author argues that the society's work was a significant step in the fight for racial equality and that Liberia's success is a testament to the resilience and determination of the African people.
