Synopsis

This book examines the aims and motivations of the American Colonization Society, which was established in the early 19th century to address the presence of free Black people in the United States. The author argues that the society's founders were driven by both benevolence and a desire to alleviate the perceived threat posed by free Black people. The book explores the complex interplay of racial prejudice and the desire for social order that shaped the society's actions. It also examines the society's opposition to abolitionism and its role in perpetuating the institution of slavery. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the history of race relations in the United States and the ongoing struggle for racial justice.
