This book describes the intersections between slavery and colonization, providing an overview of the colonization movement in America in the early 19th century. The author traces the history of the movement as the nation debated the best way to deal with the 'problem' of free Blacks. They argue that the aims of the movement were rooted in both racism and a genuine desire to help free Blacks, and demonstrate a shift in focus from repatriation in Africa to supporting the spread of Christianity. Ultimately, the colonization movement failed to gain widespread support or to solve the issue of slavery, but it did lay the groundwork for the establishment of Liberia, the first independent Black republic in Africa.
