Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes an in-depth look at the development of the American Colonization Society and its role in the fight to abolish slavery in the United States. Founded in 1816, the Society's goal was to transport free people of color to Liberia, a colony on the west coast of Africa, in order to create a new homeland for them and reduce the population of enslaved people in the U.S. The book examines the debates between proponents and opponents of the Society, the challenges faced by the colonists in Liberia, and the eventual impact of the Society's work on the abolition of slavery. The author argues that the Society played a significant role in the movement to end slavery, and that its legacy continues to shape discussions about race and equality in the United States today.
