21 Dez 1816 Jahr - Founding of American Colonization Society

Beschreibung:

The American Colonization Society, founded in 1816, was an organization that advocated for the emancipation of slaves and their resettlement in Africa, specifically in what would become Liberia. The society was supported by a coalition that included abolitionists who saw colonization as a path to gradual emancipation, and slaveholders who viewed it as a way to remove free Blacks from America, reflecting the complex and often contradictory attitudes toward race and slavery in early 19th-century America.
