Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth-century American Colonization Society (ACS) project of persuading all American free blacks to emigrate to the ACS colony of Liberia could never be accomplished.

Download or read book Another America written by James Ciment and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first popular history of the former American slaves who founded, ruled, and lost Africa's first republic In 1820, a group of about eighty African Americans reversed the course of history and sailed back to Africa, to a place they would name after liberty itself. They went under the banner of the American Colonization Society, a white philanthropic organization with a dual agenda: to rid America of its blacks, and to convert Africans to Christianity. The settlers staked out a beachhead; their numbers grew as more boats arrived; and after breaking free from their white overseers, they founded Liberia—Africa's first black republic—in 1847. James Ciment's Another America is the first full account of this dramatic experiment. With empathy and a sharp eye for human foibles, Ciment reveals that the Americo-Liberians struggled to live up to their high ideals. They wrote a stirring Declaration of Independence but re-created the social order of antebellum Dixie, with themselves as the master caste. Building plantations, holding elegant soirees, and exploiting and even helping enslave the native Liberians, the persecuted became the persecutors—until a lowly native sergeant murdered their president in 1980, ending 133 years of Americo rule. The rich cast of characters in Another America rivals that of any novel. We encounter Marcus Garvey, who coaxed his followers toward Liberia in the 1920s, and the rubber king Harvey Firestone, who built his empire on the backs of native Liberians. Among the Americoes themselves, we meet the brilliant intellectual Edward Blyden, one of the first black nationalists; the Baltimore-born explorer Benjamin Anderson, seeking a legendary city of gold in the Liberian hinterland; and President William Tubman, a descendant of Georgia slaves, whose economic policies brought Cadillacs to the streets of Monrovia, the Liberian capital. And then there are the natives, men like Joseph Samson, who was adopted by a prominent Americo family and later presided over the execution of his foster father during the 1980 coup. In making Liberia, the Americoes transplanted the virtues and vices of their country of birth. The inspiring and troubled history they created is, to a remarkable degree, the mirror image of our own.

This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Liberia the Americo-African Republic, Being Some Impressions of the Climate, Resources, and People, Resulting From Personal Observations and Experiences in West Africa The Belgian king, who has enlisted the great States of Europe to follow his "New Star in the East" on the Congo, found his parallel to guide him in Berkeley's "Star of Empire"; which arose two and a half centuries ago on the American shores. In the history of Liberia the parallel holds good. The men who colonized the new settlements, now constituting the United States of America, were mostly the descendants of slaves under successive Roman, Saxon, Danish, and Norman lords. They learned self-government as colonists only after five generations of protectorate under the mother country. Their early settlements on the coast and along river-bottoms proved unhealthful, sterile, and inhospitable. Jamestown was soon deserted; Chester and Plymouth were left to decay; commerce often was hampered; and public debt seemed irretrievable. Youth were sent to the mother country to be educated; and churches sought both ministers and their support from the mother country. Liberia was settled only two generations ago by slaves just freed, without property or education. In one generation they were nominally independent; having their own Executive, Judiciary, and Legislature. No nation behind, fully in sympathy, fostered them in their need; the U. S. Government only making their territory an asylum for recaptured slaves; and not even granting their special needs, exploration and opening up inland resources, mail communication with their kindred at home, a gun-boat to protect their commerce; all which "neglect" another Burke in the U. S. Congress is needed faithfully to portray. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Liberia: America's Footprint in Africa by : Jesse N. Mongrue M. Ed
Download or read book Liberia: America's Footprint in Africa written by Jesse N. Mongrue M. Ed and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Liberia and the United States are closely tied together, but few people have taken the necessary steps to understand the complicated relationship between the two countries. Liberia: America's Footprint in Africa traces the history of an African nation whose fate is closely tied to an uprising of slaves that began on the island that is now Haiti. The violence there caused people in the United States to wonder about the future of slavery and blacks in their own nation. In this detailed history written by a Liberian educator, you'll discover: - how the American Colonization Society played a critical role in the creation of Liberia; - how courageous blacks living in the United States persevered in seeking freedom; - how Liberia is culturally, socially, and politically connected to the United States. Discover the rich history of two nations and why Liberia remains relevant today. Enriched with interviews of scholars, Liberian community elders and detailed research, Liberia: America's Footprint in Africa is a step-by-step account of an overlooked country.

Book Synopsis The Price of Liberty by : Claude Andrew Clegg III
Download or read book The Price of Liberty written by Claude Andrew Clegg III and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-09-11 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nineteenth-century America, the belief that blacks and whites could not live in social harmony and political equality in the same country led to a movement to relocate African Americans to Liberia, a West African colony established by the United States government and the American Colonization Society in 1822. In The Price of Liberty, Claude Clegg accounts for 2,030 North Carolina blacks who left the state and took up residence in Liberia between 1825 and 1893. By examining both the American and African sides of this experience, Clegg produces a textured account of an important chapter in the historical evolution of the Atlantic world. For almost a century, Liberian emigration connected African Americans to the broader cultures, commerce, communication networks, and epidemiological patterns of the Afro-Atlantic region. But for many individuals, dreams of a Pan-African utopia in Liberia were tempered by complicated relationships with the Africans, whom they dispossessed of land. Liberia soon became a politically unstable mix of newcomers, indigenous peoples, and "recaptured" Africans from westbound slave ships. Ultimately, Clegg argues, in the process of forging the world's second black-ruled republic, the emigrants constructed a settler society marred by many of the same exclusionary, oppressive characteristics common to modern colonial regimes.
