Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents original writing and speeches by prominent figures, including the President of the Colonization Society, the Governor of Connecticut, and many Christian leaders, all advocating a new strategy for ending the abhorrent practice of slavery in the United States by supporting the establishment of a colony in Africa for free Black people. The author argues that while slavery will likely persist in the U.S. for some time, with the establishment of new, free, Black communities in Africa, there will be sufficient economic pressure and public opinion brought to bear against the continuation of slavery, to ultimately bring about its demise. The author details the efforts to establish the colony of Liberia, the first of these free communities, and the progress it had made up to the moment of the book's writing. Positioning the establishment of the colony within the broader context of efforts to end slavery at the time, the author provides a deep analysis of the theme of abolition and racial justice, and presents compelling arguments that ending slavery in the United States is both possible and necessary. This book is a compelling and fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of the abolitionist movement, the history of Liberia, or modern-day issues of racial justice and reparations.
