Synopsis
This book explores the history and principles of the American Colonization Society, founded in 1816 by Robert Finley to establish a colony in Africa for freed slaves and free people of color. The author argues that the society's ultimate goal was to encourage voluntary emigration of free people of color to Africa, where they could establish an independent and honorable nationality. The book discusses the challenges faced by the society and the colony it founded in Liberia, as well as the changing attitudes towards the free people of color in the United States. The author concludes that the society's work was instrumental in the development of Liberia as a free and independent nation, and that its insights on the relationship between race, slavery, and colonization remain relevant today.
