Excerpt from The African Repository, and Colonial Journal, Vol. 6: August, 1830
Mr. B. Said he could not avoid adding, that great interest was felt throughout the civilized world for the success ofthis enterprise. Of this, a most interesting and impressive proof had recently been given, in the arrival of Mr. Sessing, and three other missionaries from Basle in Switzer land, who had voluntarily devoted themselves to the service of the colonv and of the tribes in its vicinity, and two of whom had already sailed for Africa. If such was the ardor oftbose who had no other interest in this cause, than that excited by Christian duty and a generous philanthropy, what should be the measure of our exertions in its behalf, identified as it is with the strength, the prosperity, and the honour of our Republic?

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. 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.
